The Taiwanese sisters saved one of four break points and converted six of 10, winning 61 of the 104 points contested to advance to a second-round clash with German duo Mona Barthel and Laura Siegemund, who defeated fellow German Sabine Lisicki and Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic 6-2, 3-6, 6-2.
