The Indian-Bahamian duo come from behind to beat Rosco and Hussy…
Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles survived a stern test from Ross Hutchins and Stephen Huss before prevailing to reach the second round of AEGON International at Eastbourne.
The No.2 seeds, who have twice fallen to the Anglo-Aussie pair in the last 18 months, dropped the first set 6-4 but soon found their touch to bag the second set 7-6(4) before wrapping up the comeback 10-3 in the breaker.
Next up for the Indian-Bahamian pair will be Travis Parrott and Filip Polasek, who got the better of Teimuraz Gabashvili and Dmitry Tursunov 4-6 6-3 10-4.
