KUNMING, April 29 (Xinhua) -- Aliaksandr Bury of Belarus and Lloyd Harris of South Africa beat Chinese pair Zhang Ze and Gong Maoxin 6-3, 6-4 to win the men's doubles title at the tennis Kunming Open here on Sunday.

The title match lasted one hour and 11 minutes as Bury and Harris took full advantages of their heights -- Bury is 2.03 meters tall and Harris is 1.96 meters tall -- in serve and baseline, swung freely and played aggressively. Meanwhile, the Chinese pair made many unforced errors and were under constant pressure in their service games.

"Today was a nice game, so many people came here, no wind, sunny, and that's all nice conditions for us," Bury said.

"Both teams played well. We like playing with them, Zhang and Gong are really good players, but we got the opportunities better, the result is excellent," Harris said with full smile.

Bury and Harris can get 125 points in rankings and 9,300 U.S. dollars with the Kunming Open title.

Kunming Open is part of the ATP Challenger Tour and WTA 125K series and is played on clay courts, formerly known as the China International Challenger since 2012.
