May 27, 2005 18:47 IST
Leander Paes remains the lone Indian hope at the French Open tennis
tournament after Sania Mirza lost her doubles match at the Roland Garros
in Paris, France, on Friday.
Paes and Nenad Zimonjic continued their sturdy march, steamrolling the
French pair of Nicolas Devilder and Marc Gicquel 6-1, 6-3 to reach the
men's doubles third round.
Sania's campaign, however, came to an end when she and her Russian
partner, Anna Chakvetadze, were beaten 4-6, 7-4, 6-2 by 16th seeds Chinese
Zi Yan and Jie Zhang.
The 18-year-old Indian had earlier lost in the singles first round.
Mahesh Bhupathi and Todd Woodbridge were upset in the first round by the
United States' Kevin Kim and Hyung-Taik Lee of Korea on Thursday.
