India’s Leander Paes and his Australian partner John Peers beat Spaniard Tommy Robredo and Italian Andreas Seppi in straight sets to advance into the pre-quarterfinals of the Shanghai Open on Tuesday.

It was a relatively straight forward affair for the Indo-Oz pair which won 6-3, 6-4 in 56 minutes. Paes and Peers sealed the final game of the match without dropping a point.

It was their first victory in China in two weeks following the first round exit at the China Open in Beijing, where the pair lost to fourth-seeded Daniel Nestor (Canada) and Edouard Roger-Vasselin (France).
