Playing their final tournament together, Mark Knowles and Daniel Nestor took another step towards the semifinals with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Simon Aspelin and Julian Knowle. The turning point of the match came in the second set at 5-5 30/30, when Knowle missed an overhead to hand two break points to Knowles and Nestor, who converted their second chance.
Knowles and Nestor, who won this year's Roland Garros title, began playing with other partners after the US Open but have reunited for Tennis Masters Cup. With the withdrawal of the Bryan brothers due to injury, Knowles and Nestor are the top seeds at the event.
Despite being 2-0 in round-robin play Knowles and Nestor still are not guaranteed a semifinal place. They play Czech duo Lukas Dlouhy and Pavel Vizner in their final group match Friday.
