Americans John Isner and Sam Querrey teamed Thursday to defeat fourth seeds and 2004 champions Max Mirnyi and Mahesh Bhupathi 6-2, 6-7(5), 10-6 and reach the quarter-finals of the Internazionali BNL d’Italia, an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 clay-court tennis tournament in Rome.

Isner and Querrey did not face a break point throughout the 89-minute encounter and capitalised on two of the four opportunities they created. The Memphis champions go on to face Swiss pairing Yves Allegro and Roger Federer for a semi-final berth.

Spaniards Nicolas Almagro and Marcel Granollers accounted for another seeded team as they defeated No. 5 seeds and 2009 Roland Garros finalists Wesley Moodie and Dick Norman 6-1, 3-6, 10-8. They next will face reigning ATP World Tour Champions Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan.

Seventh seeds Lukasz Kubot and Oliver Marach secured their place in the quarter-finals with a comprehensive 6-4, 6-0 victory over Serbians Janko Tipsarevic and Viktor Troicki. The Polish-Austrian duo saved all five break points they faced and converted four of their six opportunities to prevail in 75 minutes.
