India's Mahesh Bhupathi and Max Mirnyi of Belarus won their second title in as many weeks when they lifted the Monte Carlo Masters Series doubles crown in Monaco on Sunday.

In the final, Bhupathi and Miryni beat the French pair of Michael Llodra and Fabrice Santoro 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (8-6).

Last week the pair won the Estoril Open.

Bhupathi, 28, and 25-year-old Mirnyi, who were seeded third, won a close third set tie-breaker to edge past the Australian Open doubles champions.

Bhupathi, who won a host of titles with compatriot Leander Paes, including the Roland Garros and Wimbledon doubles crowns in 1999, said was delighted with his latest success and believes the partnership he has forged with Mirnyi can prove similarly fruitful.

"We had a little more luck at the end. We've had a great run. Hopefully we can go all the way at Roland Garros. It was a lot of fun to play a good match like this," he said.
