Landa and Vargas will play their first match tonight in the Round of 16 against 16th seeds Sebastian Franco and Samantha Simmons, who needed a tie-breaker to defeat 17th seeds Maurice Miller and Michèle Morissette, 6-15, 15-13, 11-1, in the Round of 32.

Second seeds Daniel De La Rosa and Samantha Salas will play 15th seeds Natalia Mendez and Alan Natura in the 16s, as Mendez and Natura defeated 18th seeds Felipe Camacho and Maricruz Ortiz, 15-12, 15-10.
