The Antipodean duo were unable to overcome Spanish and Argentinean rivals, Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos, losing 7-6 7-5.

Venus and Peers are the Bob Bryan Group which includes top seeds Mate Pavic (Croatia) and Bruno Soares (Brazil) and 7th seeds, Jurgen Melzer (Austria) and Edouard Roger-Vasselin (france) in their remaining matches.
