However, Bopanna along with Romanian Florin Mergea crashed out of the men's doubles in the third round.
It was a comfortable opening round outings for Paes and Bopanna in mixed doubles.
While Paes and Martina Hingis of Switzerland posted a 6-3 7-5 win over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Dominic Inglot in an hour and nine minutes, third seeded Bopanna and Yung-Jan Chan of Chinese Taipei also hardly broke a sweat before prevailing over the Australian pair of John Millman and Kimberly Birrell, 7-5 6-1 in 48 minutes.
However, Bopanna's campaign got over in men's doubles as he and Mergea, seeded fourth, were handed a shock defeat 4-6 3-6 by 14th seeded duo of Treat Huey and Max Mirnyi.
