Lukas Dlouhy and Leander Paes were the fourth team to clinch their place at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, where they will make their second straight appearance at the season climax.
2009 Review
In 15 tournaments together, they advanced to SF or better five times, highlighted by Grand Slam titles at Roland Garros (d. Moodie-Norman) and US Open (d. Bhupathi-Knowles), both by identical 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 scores. It was first two Grand Slam titles for Dlouhy and Paes has captured six in his career.
They also were finalists in Rotterdam in February (l. to Nestor-Zimonjic) and SF at the Australian Open (l. to eventual champs Bryans) and ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Monte Carlo (l. to Bryans) in April.
After US Open the duo did not play together again until November at BNP Paribas Masters in Paris prior to London (Paes took time off to rest) and they lost in opening round match.
Finals History
Dlouhy and Paes compiled a 0-3 record at the 2008 season climax in Shanghai and failed to progress past the round-robin group stage.
Paes, 36, who first appeared with Mahesh Bhupathi at the 1997 season climax, will be making his 10th appearance (also 1998-2000, 2002, 2006-2008) with his fourth different partner. He has reached the final on four occasions in 1997, 1999-2000 (w/Bhupathi) and in 2005 (w/Zimonjic).
