Their impeccable on-court camaraderie betrayed no signs of a stormy past as Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi inched closer to their first joint Olympic medal by reaching the quarterfinals of the men's doubles event in Beijing.

The seventh seeded Indians played compact tennis to defeat Marcelo Melo and Andre Sa of Brazil 6-4, 6-2 in just over an hour.

In the quarterfinals, they will take on the fourth seeded Swiss pair of Roger Federer and Stanislas Wawrinka.

Paes and Bhupathi were in perfect sync and they combined well to negate the Brazilians. Breaking Sa early in the third game put them ahead and the duo subsequently did not relax their grip over the proceedings as they sealed the first set without much ado.
