Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles were the third team to clinch their place at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, where they will make their second straight appearance (1-2 record) at the circuit finale.

2009 Review

The veteran duo captured one title and reached three finals together during the season with runner-up efforts at the Australian (l. to Bryans) and US Opens (l. to Dlouhy-Paes).

In April at Barcelona, they defeated the Bryans in the SF before falling to Nestor-Zimonjic in final. On grass, they advanced to QF at Wimbledon (l. to Moodie-Norman in five sets) and in August they dropped only one set in four matches en route to title at Rogers Cup in Montreal. They beat Nestor-Zimonjic in SF and Mirnyi-A. Ram in final.

In final Grand Slam tournament at US Open, they won four of five matches in straight sets en route to title match, only to lose to Dlouhy-Paes in three sets. They played in two tournaments after US Open, highlighted by semi-final at ATP World Tour Masters 1000 Shanghai (l. to Benneteau-Tsonga).

Finals History

Bhupathi and Knowles compiled a 1-2 record at the 2008 season climax in Shanghai and failed to progress past the round-robin group stage.

The 35-year-old Bhupathi, who first appeared with Leander Paes at the 1997 season climax, will be making his ninth appearance (also 1998-2000, 2002-2004, 2008). He has reached the final on three occasions in 1997, 1999-2000 (w/Paes).
