CINCINNATI: Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles' six-match winning streak ended with their semi-final loss at the ATP Cincinnati Masters event at the hands of Wimbledon champions Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic.
The fourth-seed Indo-Bahamian pair lost 4-6, 3-6 to the second seeded Canadian-Serbian combination in a little over an hour match of the $3 million hard court event.
Bhupathi and Knowles got 360 ranking points each and split the $33,825 prize money.

The Indo-Bahamian pair, the winners of last week's Montreal Masters, dropped their serve once but failed to grab the only chance they got in the first set to break their opponents.
In the second set, they broke their opponents' service once but dropped their own thrice, which ruled out a comeback.
With this win, Nestor and Zimonjic avenged last week's semi-final loss to Bhupathi and Knowles.
In the final, they will face defending champions Bob Bryan and Mike Bryan.
