The Indo-American pair toiled in the middle to get the better of unseeded Nicolas Almagro (Spain) and Sebastian Prieto (Argentina) 6-4, 5-7, 10-8 to set up a second round clash with American James Cerretani and French Jeremy Chardy.

Elsewhere, US-based Prakash Amritraj downed Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov 7-6(3), 6-1 to sail into the singles second round of the Israel Open at Ramat Hasharon.
