India's veteran pair of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi entered the semi-finals of the Miami Open with a battling 6-3, 6-7, 10-7 win over Frenchman Michael Lodra and Serb Nenad Zimonjic.

Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic has targeted a "revenge" victory after setting up a quarter-final against Kevin Anderson.

It was at the same Miami tournament three years ago that Anderson produced a shock three-set win over Djokovic, in their only previous meeting. And after Djokovic posted a 6-3, 6-2 win over his close friend and Davis Cup team-mate Viktor Troicki, the Serbian ufffd still unbeaten in 2011 ufffd was reminded of that result.

"It's not a nice memory, definitely," second seed Djokovic said.

"But I will have an opportunity to get my revenge on the same court where I lost in 2008.

No 1 Rafael Nadal beat Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov 6-1, 6-2 in just 59 minutes. And third seed Roger Federer managed to defeat Belgianu00a0 Olivier Rochus 6-3, 6-1 in just 51 minutes.
