Wimbledon 2016: Paes-Matkowski storm into men's doubles second round
Indian tennis star Leander Paes and his Polish partner Marcin Matkowski cruised into the second round of the men's doubles event at Wimbledon.
The Indo-Polish pair recorded a comfortable 6-1, 6-3 win over Taipei's Lu Yen-hsun and Serbia's Janko Tipsarevic in a rain-hit opening round contest that lasted 42 minutes at the All-England Club.
Paes and Matkowski will next face either Henri Kontinen-John Peers or Nicholas Monroe-Donald Young for a spot in the third round.
On the other hand, India's Rohan Bopanna and his Romanian men's doubles partner Florin Mergea also progressed through to the second round with a hard-fought 7-5, 7-6 (6) win over Croatian pair of Marin Draganja and Nikola Mektic in the opening round.
