The Indian doubles specialists, who won 14 Grand Slam titles during their career, outclassed the Russian duo 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 in one hour 36 minutes to reduce their team's arrears before Sunday's rubbers with Russia leading 2-1. "We play well together and we both enjoy playing doubles," Bhupathi said. "Today we played very well."
