The 10th seeded Indo-Canadian pair made short work of&nbsp;Begemann-Knowle winning in straight sets 7-6 (7-3) 6-2.
While the first set saw both pairs trade a break each, it&nbsp;went to the tie-breaker where the fancied pair of Paes-Nestor&nbsp;brought on all their experience into play winning it at 3.&nbsp;
