Indian tennis star Rohan Bopanna and his Romanian men's doubles partner Florin Mergea progressed through to the second round of the Wimbledon on Friday.
The sixth seeded Indo-Romanian duo claimed a hard-fought 7-5, 7-6 (6) win over Croatian pair of Marin Draganja and Nikola Mektic in the opening round contest that lasted one hour and 20 minutes.
Bopanna and Mergea smashed a total of 14 winners and six aces in their first round win and will either face Swedish duo of Johan Brunstrom and Andreas Siljestrom or Slovakian-Chilean pair of Andrej Martin and Hans Podlipnik-Castillo for a spot in the third round.
