Filipino Treat Huey and partner Max Mirnyi of Belarus got through to the third round after a 5-7, 7-6 (7-2), 6-4 triumph over a Brazilian pair late Friday in the Australian Open.

A pillar of the Philippine Davis Cup team, the 30-year-old Huey found a staunch ally in multiple Grand Slam doubles champion Mirnyi to tame the raging pair of Thomas Bellucci and Marcelo Demolier.
