Paris, May 22
Yuki Bhambri went down fighting while Ramkumar Ramanathan suffered a tame defeat as the two Indians bowed out of the French Open Qualifiers here today. Up against Canada's 25th seed and world No. 132 Peter Polansky, Bhambri lost the first-round match 6-7(7) 6-7 (5). Ramanathan lost to Argentina's world No. 1 114 and 13th seed Guido Pella 2-6 1-6 in a lop-sided first round encounter.
The defeat of both Bhambri and Ramanathan means that no Indian will compete in the singles main draw of a Grand Slam event.
