Madrid, October 19:: Mahesh Bhupathi and his Bahamian partner Mark Knowles sailed into the finals of ATP Madrid Masters with a straight-set win over Swede-Zimbabwean pair of Jonas Bjorkman and Kevin Ullyett here.

The fourth seeded Indo-Bahamian pair beat their fifth seeded rivals 6-2 6-4 in little over an hour's time to enter the finals.

Bhupahti and Knowles will take on seventh seeds Marcin Matkoswki and Mariusz Fyrstenberg of Poland.

Matkoswki and Fyrstenberg saved three match points en route to their 6-7(4) 7-6(5) 12-10 win over South African eighth seeds Jeff Coetzee and Wesley Moodie.

Bhupathi and Knowles are chasing their third ATP title of the season after triumphing at Memphis and Dubai.
