Another German star Timo Boll wasted no time to dispose of Scotland's Gavin Rumgay 4-0.
Boll, 36, who has won the German champion 11 times, then paired with Ma to beat Indian duo Sharath Kamal Achanta and Sathiyan Gnanasekaran 4-1 to reach the second round of the men's doubles.
Boll and Ma, who were stopped in the second round two years ago in Suzhou, will next take on Chinese pair Xu Xin and Fan Zhendong.
"I think we played better today than in the first round, although the opponents are stronger. We have more harmony and fluency," Boll said.
"I am very much looking forward to the next match. We know the Chinese pair are strong but if we want to win the champion, we need to beat all the rivals."
