India's Leander Paes along with his French partner Jeremy Chardy prevailed over Marcel Granollers and Sam Groth in a hard-fought three setter to enter the semifinals of the Delray Beach Open in Florida.

After conceding an early lead, the Indo-French pair staged a strong comeback to register a 6-3, 4-6, 10-6 victory over their Spanish-Australian rivals last night at the Delray Beach Tennis Center. 

Paes and Chardy will now take on the top seeded US pair of Bob and Mike Bryan in the last four stage.
