Top-seeded Bob and Mike Bryan (pictured) reached the ATP Masters Series Monte-Carlo final for the first time since 2005 on Saturday.

The leaders of the Stanford ATP Doubles Race took their places after a 7-6(2), 6-2 win over No. 5 seeds Paul Hanley and Kevin Ullyett in 82 minutes.

The Bryans won 65 of 121 points in total, hitting four aces and break serve three times from nine opportunities. They have yet to drop a set en route to the championship match.

Hanley and Ullyett will rise one place to No. 4 in the Stanford ATP Doubles Race when the rankings are published on Monday. The Australian-Zimbabwean team won the Sydney title (d. Knowles-Nestor) in January prior to reaching the Australian Open semifinals (l. to Bjorkman-Mirnyi).

The Bryans improve to 25-2 and will look to win their fifth ATP crown this year. The Americans lost to Leander Paes and Nenad Zimonjic in the 2005 Monte Carlo final.

They will next play French squad Julien Benneteau and Richard Gasquet, who knocked out No. 7 seeds Simon Aspelin and Julian Knowle 6-1, 6-4 in 62 minutes

Benneteau and Gasquet are playing only their third ATP-level tournament. They improve to 8-1 as a team, having made their debut at Queen's Club in London two seasons ago.

Aspelin and Knowle have a 3-2 record together.
