Mahesh Bhupathi of India (L) and his partner and compatriot Leander Paes talk between points against Ivo Karlovic of Croatia and Dusan Vemic of Serbia during their round one men's doubles match on the fourth day of the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne. AFP

In contrast, India's Rohan Bopanna and Pakistan's Aisam-Ul-Haq-Qureshi had it easy against Brazilian pair Franco Ferreiro and Andre Sa at 6-3, 6-0. The 11th-seeded Bopanna and Qureshi, the runners-up at 2010 US Open, next play Frenchmen Jeremy Chardy and Arnaud Clement.  The third-seeded Paes and Bhupathi now await the winner of the match between Spain's Feliciano Lopez and Juan Monaco of Argentina and the Australian pair of Marinko Matosevic and John Millman.

Paes and Bhupathi, a former World No.1 team, are playing together in a Grand Slam after nine years in their bid to complete a career slam.
