Andre Begemann News
Paes and Begemann won the opening set rather comfortably before running out of steam to go down in the next two sets.
Paes had last won an ATP men's doubles title, along with South Africa's Raven Klaasen, in the 2015 New Zealand Open.
Robert and Sela will now take on Lukasz Kubot of Poland and Alexander Peya of Austria in the second round.
Paes and Begemann started the proceedings on a bad note as the duo were broken twice to surrender the first set 1-6.
The Indo-German pair won 1-6 7-6 10-4 courtesy super tie-break.
The unseeded Indo-German pair upset the Poland-Serbian combo 6-4 6-4 in their quarterfinal that lasted one hour and 16 minutes.
