The top-seeded Indo-Pak pair beat Julian Knowle of Austria and Poland's Lukasz Kubot 6-4 6-4 to start their campaign on a positive note.

They will play the winner of the opening round match between Germany's Michael Kohlmann and Alexander Waske and wildcard duo of Martin Emmrich of Germany and Andreas Siljestrom of Sweden.
