Fourth seeds Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles entered the final of the Monte Carlo Masters on Saturday with a 6-0, 7-5 victory over Jeff Coetzee and Wesley Moodie.
Bhupathi, who recorded his 500th doubles victory on Friday, will play the fourth final of the season with Bahamas' Knowles. The duo ended runners-up against Mike and Bob Bryan at the last tournament-- Miami Masters-- and won back-to-back titles in Memphis and Dubai.
South Africa's Coetzee and Moodie, who won the Estoril Open last week, beat the top-seeded Bryan twins en route to the semi-final on their Monte Carlo debut.
Bhupathi-Knowles will meet the winner of the second semi-final between Rafael Nadal/Tommy Robredo and experienced eighth seeds Jonas Bjorkman/Kevin Ullyett.
