Cincinnati (USA):
The match against Paes-Dlouhy pair was an easy proposition for Ferrer, who lost in the singles second round to World No 1 Roger Federer, and Robredo, who was upset in the opening round by Jeremy Chardy, as they capitalised on three out of six break points they earned to pocket the encounter in just 56 minutes.
Ferrer and Robredo will next face eight seeded Polish-Austrian pair of Lukas Kubot and Oliver Marach, who defeated wildcard holders John Isner and Sam Querrey of the US 4-6, 6-2, 10-8.
Meanwhile, the other Indian in the fray, Mahesh Bhupathi and his partner Mark Knowles have already advanced to the quarterfinals of the event and the fourth seed Indo-Bahamian combination will take on French duo of Michael Llodra and Jo-Wilfried Songa.
