Strong start of the two Vienna winners from last autumn: With Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden, Lucas Miedler and Alexander Erler had drawn the number ten of the tournament. And with 6: 3 and 7: 5 also said goodbye again. And the prospects are good: With Jiri Lehecka and Alex Molcan, two strong singles players are waiting for Erler/Miedler, but the Austrians can look back on far more experience and success in doubles.
Philipp Oswald and his partner Guillermo Duran had no orders against the Australians Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson at 3: 6 and 4: 6.
The brothers Stefanos and Petros Tsitsipas had already qualified for the second round in Melbourne on Thursday. However, the Greeks now have to deal with number one, Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski.
