Bhupathi-Henman to meet Hanley-Ullyett in QF of Legg Mason Classic

Washington, Aug 1 (UNI) Mahesh Bhupathi and his new partner Tim Henman of England outplayed Korean-American pair of Hyung Taik Lee and Michael Russell 6-2, 7-5 to storm into the quarter-finals of the Legg Mason Tennis Classic here.

The Indo-British combination will now meet third seeded pair of Paul Hanley (Australia) and Kevin Ullyett (Zimababwe) in the last eight.

Hanley-Ullyett duo got the better of Jeff Coetzee of South Africa and Rogier Wassen of Netherlands in their opening encounter round.

Searching for a stable partner for a while, Bhupathi earlier teamed up with Hanley at Indianapolis last week but lost to Mardy Fish and Andy Roddick in the first round, despite being seeded top in the hard court ATP event.
