Austrians Oust Top Seeds To Reach Belgrade Final

ATP World Tour 2011 Season: Week 17

Marach, Peya© Stevanovic/MilosavljevicOliver Marach and Alexander Peya are into their first ATP World Tour final together.

Fourth-seeded Austrians Oliver Marach and Alexander Peya reached their first ATP World Tour final together on Saturday as they ousted top seeds Marcel Granollers and Nenad Zimonjic 6-0, 6-4 at the Serbia Open 2011.

Marach and Peya broke serve five times and won 79 per cent of points behind their first serve to claim victory in 66 minutes. Belgrade native Zimonjic was denied a place in the final of his hometown tournament for the second time, having lost in the first round with Daniel Nestor in 2009.

In the final Marach and Peya will face third seeds Frantisek Cermak and Filip Polasek, who battled past Israeli No. 2 seeds Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram 7-5, 1-6, 10-5 in 79 minutes.

At the BMW Open in Munich, German pairing Andreas Beck and Christopher Kas advanced to their first ATP World Tour team final with a 6-4, 6-3 victory over James Cerretani and Adil Shamasdin in the semi-finals of the ATP World Tour 250 clay-court tennis tournament.

The 25-year-old Beck is bidding for his first ATP World Tour doubles title in his second final, while the 30-year-old Kas is chasing his fourth title and his third on home soil after triumphing in Halle in 2009 and in Stuttgart in 2008 (both w/Kohlschreiber).
