The Indo-French duo failed to capitalise on their first-set win and slumped to a 7-5, 4-6 , 7-10 defeat at the hands of the Dutch-Czech Republic team of Matwe Middelkoop and Roman Jebavy.

Bopanna, who continued to lead for India in rankings for men`s doubles as he stood at the 19th place, was recently recommended for the prestigious Arjuna Award.
