Paes and Dlouhy beat their rivals 6-1 6-3 late last night to set up a clash with another unseeded duo of James Cerretani and Sergiy Stakhovsky.
The Ukrainian-American pair defeated Spaniards Nicolas Almagro and Ivan Navarro 6-2 4-6 6-2 in the first round.
 India's Sania Mirza and Chia-Jung Chuang of Chinese Taipei (Taiwan) sailed into the doubles second round  with a 7-5, 6-1 victory over Ipek Senoglu of Turkey and Yanina Wickmayer of Belarus at Roland Garros here Wednesday.

Sania and Chuang, seeded 14th, faced tough resistance in the first set that lasted 50 minutes. They converted all three break points that came their way while Ipek and Yanina wasted the same number of chances of breaking back.
Sania and Chuang raised their game in the second set, breaking their opponents twice and not conceding any break points, as they wrapped it up in just 24 minutes.

They will next face the winner of the match between Ukraine's Viktoriya Kutuzova and Aravane Rezai of France and Polish pair of Agnieszka Radwanska and Urszula Radwanska.

Sania has bowed out of the singles competition, going down to Kazakhstan's Galina Voskoboeva in the first round Tuesday.
Bopanna-Erlich ousted
 Rohan Bopanna and Jonathan Erlich crashed out after suffering a 4-6, 6-7 (10) defeat at the hands of Guillermo Garcia Lopez and Sergio Roitman.
After conceding the first set, the Indo-Israeli duo had a good chance to draw level as they were leading 4-1 at one stage but allowed the Spanish-Argetine pair to claw their back.
Guillermo and Sergio stretched the second set to a tie-breaker and converted their third match point to seal the fate of Bopanna and Erlich.
