Colin Fleming and English partner Ken Skupski came through their opening match in the Vancouver Open wtih the minimum of fuss.

Seeded four after their triumph at the Granby Open last weekend, the British pair beat Americans Brian Battistone and Nicholas Munroe in straight sets 6-3 6-4.

Fleming and Skupski now go forward to face South Africans Kevin Anderson and Rik De Voest in the second round.

American top seeds Eric Butorac and Scott Lipsky, who were in the same half of the draw, went out in the first round.
