Pavic and Soares advance as we recap the men's doubles matches in Melbourne

Today's men's doubles draw featured  8 matches out of which six went the full distance so plenty of doubles play on display today

The only pairs that managed to advance to the next round in straight sets were Pavic / Soares who beat Bambridge and McLachlan 7-6(4) 7-5. The other were Ram / Salisbury who beat Evans and Smith 6-1 7-6(3).
