"That was really a great match with really tough serving by (Ross), which made it very easy on me," said Walsh Jennings.
"We want this sucker so bad. We've got four matches to win; this is another one down."
"I want to use it, if it's working, I'm going to use it," Ross said.
"We had never seen that team before. We didn't know really what to expect. We came out and played aggressive and played together."
Walsh Jennings and Ross advance into the Round of 16, and will meet China's top-ranked team of Fan Wang and Yuan Yue, seeded 12th in the championships, in the morning round.
Wang and Yue beats Jennifer Kessy and Emily Day in straight sets, 21-19, 21-18, in 40 minutes.
