Bopanna and Sutjiadi, seeded eighth, beat the Australian duo of John Pears and Katerina Siniakova of the Czech Republic 0-6, 7-6(5), 10-7 in a second-round match.
Bopanna and Sutjiadi will next play fourth seeds Matthew Ebden and Barbora Krejcikova. Bopanna and his partner had won 7-6 (7), 7-6 (5) against Germany's Tim Puetz and Dutch player Demi Schuurs in the opening round.

"Well sometimes it's not about how you start, it's about how you finish. They started also lights out and we changed a little strategy with varying the pace so that also helped," said Bopanna.
