Damm and Lindstedt sailed past the fourth seeded Czech-Slovak pair of Frantisek Cermak and Michal Mertinak 6-3 6-2 in their semifinal match of the hard-court event in Auckland.
However, there was disappointment for Bhupathi and Knowles as the third-seeded Indo-Bahamian duo went down fighting 1-6 7-6 (4) 5-10 to second seeded Americans Bob and Mike Bryan in the semi-finals of the hard-court tournament in the build-up to the Australian Open, which starts on Monday.
