British pair Chris Eaton and Dominic Inglot believe they can build on their first round victory at Wimbledon.

Debutant Inglot, 24, and Eaton, 22, beat Fabio Fognini and Kevin Ullyett in the men's doubles in four sets on Wednesday, 6-7 (7-9) 7-5 6-4 7-6 (7-4).

"We're feeling so good on serve that we feel we can push any team," Eaton told BBC Sport.

"We're always in it as long as the umpires and the opponents are out there, we are never going to fold."

Despite all of the British players, apart from Andy Murray, falling at the first hurdle in the senior singles events, Eaton and Inglot did not feel it affected their game.

"We're not out there thinking there's extra pressure on us because the other British guys didn't quite get the job done.

"Even if we're a set down we can always come back, we had a belief and got the result," added Inglot.

The pair, who joined fellow Brits Jamie Delgado and Josh Goodall in the second round, had to play their match during England's World Cup win over Slovenia.

Midway through the second set someone shouted something like 'come on guys, you can do it because England are doing it' - but it didn't stay in my mind too much Chris Eaton

But Eaton said: "I wasn't too bothered about that because after the last two performances I wasn't really expecting much.

"If we'd gone on after the England match and they hadn't got the job done, I'd have been feeling pretty down.

"Midway through the second set someone shouted something like 'come on guys you can do it because England are doing it'.

"But it didn't stay in my mind too much."

Eaton and Inglot will now face either first seeds Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic or Britain's Andrew Marray and Jamie Murray in the second round.
