Rohan Bopanna and Pakistan's Aisam-ul-Haq Qureshi entered the pre-quarters of the Sony Ericsson Open after warding off late resistance from the German-American pair of Philipp Kohlschreiber and Rajeev Ram 6-3 7-6(5).

Bopanna and Qureshi frittered away four break points in the opening set itself but managed to convert one against their rivals' none to get the edge. The second set was a closer battle, this time Kohlschreiber and Ram wasting opportunities. They converted just one of the seven break points they earned.
