HOUSTON – The doubles semifinals are set for the 2011 US Men’s Clay Court Championship, and leading the charge for the title are the top two seeds.

Butorac and Rojer are contesting their fifth semifinal of the year, a series of results that includes a run to the final four at the Australian Open.
Three-time doubles champions Bob and Mike Bryan headline the nighttime doubles action, as they will face off against Guillermo Garcia-Lopez and Pablo Cuevas.
