The Brazilian pair put up a much better fight in the second set but Bhambri-Galloway struck in the eighth game, winning a break point to open up a 5-3 lead.
The Indo-American duo then held their own serve in the ninth game to close out the match and book themselves a spot in the semi-finals.
Earlier, Bhambri-Galloway had reached the men’s doubles quarter-finals with a 6-3, 6-3 win in the opening round against Gregoire Jacq and Alexandre Muller.
