Bhupathi-Mirnyi move up

MELBOURNE, JAN. 21. Mahesh Bhupathi and Max Mirnyi overcame an erratic performance to advance to the second round of the men's doubles at the Australian Open on Wednesday.

Bhupathi and Belarussian Mirnyi, the second seeds, needed an hour and 40 minutes before prevailing over Devin Bowen of the U.S. and Australian Ashley Fisher 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.

In another match, Asian wild cards Prakash Amritraj and Hyung-Taik Lee of Korea retired midway through their first round match against South African Wayne Ferreira and Rick Leach of the U.S.

Ferreira and Leach had won the first set 7-6 (7-4) when the Asian combination retired.
