Third seeds Sania Mirza [Images] and Shahar Peer survived a scare from Tatiana Poutchek and Anastasia Rodionova before advancing to the doubles quarter-finals of the US $600,000 Bank of West Classic tournament in Stanford.

The Indo-Israeli pair beat the unseeded Belarussian-Russian duo 6-1, 0-6, 11-9 in over an hour at the WTA Tour hard court tournament on Wednesday.

Sania and Peer will meet the Uzbek-German team of Akgul Amanmuradova and Angalika Bachmann.

Sania, who is aiming for a second successive doubles title after her triumph in Cincinatti with Bethanie Mattek [Images] last week, and Peer failed to convert two breakpoints in the third set which saw them being broken thrice.

But they got their act together in the super tie-breaker to advance to the quarters.
