Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna clinched the Paris Masters, their second title of the year, after scoring a hard-fought win over Aisam-ul-haq Qureshi and Jean-Julien Rojer here on Sunday. The fifth seed Indian pair, playing their fourth final of the season, struggled past the Pakistan-Dutch combination 7-6 (6), 6-3 in the summit clash, lasting one hour and 24 minutes. Bhupathi and Bopanna had won the Dubai ATP event and ended runners-up at Cincinnati and Shanghai. The Indians could not convert a single breakpoint of the six chances in the opening set but held nerves in the tie-breaker to take the lead.
