British duo Andy Murray and Ross Hutchins are through to the quaterfinals of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.

The pair sailed through comfortably with a 6-1 6-3 victory over Marcelo Melo and Andre Sa of Brazil.

The British pair were rarely troubled, completing the straight-sets victory without even conceding a break of serve in just under an hour.

Next up will be a last-eight clash with Belarusian Max Mirnyi, former doubles partner of Andy's brother Jamie, and Andy Ram of Israel, who beat third seeds Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles in the last round.
