However, another British pair, Jamie Murray and Johanna Konta were beaten by American duo Jack and Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-4 6-3.

Murray and Konta rarely threatened in a contest that lasted one hour and 17 minutes, with a solitary break of serve in each set enough for Sock and Mattek-Sands to secure their progression.
