Eltingh & Haarhuis out of Rotterdam |

Top-seeded Poles Mariusz Fyrstenberg and Marcin Matkowski beat Jacco Eltingh and Paul Haarhuis, the 1997-98 titlists, on Monday at the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam.

Fyrstenberg and Matkowski beat the veteran Dutchmen, who last played together in 1998 and are making a temporary return to the ATP World Tour, 6-3, 6-2 in just 62 minutes for a place in the quarter-finals.

Tomas Berdych and Philipp Kohlschreiber scraped past Sergiy Stakhovsky and Mikhail Youzhny 7-5, 3-6, 12-10 in 86 minutes. The Czech-German duo, who first teamed up 18 months ago at the 2009 Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, hit five aces and won 68 per cent of service points.
