After Rohan Bopanna,Paes exits Indian Wells

March 12, 2017

Leander Paes and his Argentine partner Juan Martin de Porto crashed out in the opening round of the men’s Doubles event to bring an early closure to India’s challenge at the ATP Indian Wells Masters, here.

Paes and Del Porto were no match for Luxembourg’s Gilles Muller and American Sam Querry as they suffered straight sets 3-6 4-6 defeat to make early exit from the ATP Masters event.

A break of serve in each set was enough for Muller and Querry to pocket the comfortable win. In contrast, Muller & Querry converted one out of the 3 break point opportunities that came their way in the 2nd set to seal the affair in little over an hour.

With Leander’s loss, India’s campaign came to an end in the tournament as Rohan Bopanna and Pablo Cuevas have already been shown the door in the opening round.

Bopanna and his Uruguyan partner Cuevas fought hard before losing 6-2 3-6 10-7 against Serbian combination of Novak Djokovic and Viktor Troicki.
