29 October, 2008 | 16:10

Jamie and Pavel Vizner are through to the second round of the Paris Masters after a 6-2 6-7 (5) 10-8 win over Marin Cilic and Jamie's old partner, Max Mirnyi.

They'll now face the sixth seeds, Wesley Moodie and Jeff Coetzee, who received a bye through round one.

After a strong start, Cilic/Mirnyi clawed their way back with a strong breaker in the second set, taking it 7-5.

The momentum appeared to be with them in the Champions Tie Break as well as they moved 5-2 to the good, only for Jamie and Pavel to stem the tide, and tough out the win.
