Paes and Stepanek converted five of eight break point opportunities and in return gave little away on their own serves, broken just twice in the entire match.
In contrast, the wildcard pair gave freebies away, recording six double faults and managed to win just 45 percent of the points on their second serve.
The fourth seeds will next play the winner of the match between Roger Federer-Stanislas Wawrinka and Ernests Gulbis-Milos Raonic.
