The 13th seeded pair, lost 6-7 (10-12), 6-4, 6-7 (5-7) to the unseeded Italian pair of Daniele Bracciali and Andreas Seppi in a contest that lasted for more than two and half hours yesterday.

Bopanna and Qureshi send down as many as 11 aces but also double faulted nine times in the match. The Indo-Pakistan pair converted only four of the 13 break point chances.

The third set turned out to be a nerve-wrecking affairs where the Italian pair managed to held on to their nerves in the end in the 56-minute ordeal. ( PTI)
