London Olympics Tennis: Leander Paes and Vishnu Vardhan Crash Out

India's Men's Doubles pair of Leander Paes and Vishnu Vardhan crashed out of the London Olympics after losing to the French pair of Llodra and Tsonga in the Second Round match.

Paes and Vardhan fought hard but could not match the sheer quality to the Second seeded pair of Llodra and Tsonga and lost the match 6-7, 6-4, 3-6 in 2 hours and 10 minutes.

The Indian pair were able to give some torrid time to their French rivals and were quite impressive in their play. With Paes and Vardhan knocked out, India's challenge in the Men's Doubles Tennis also ends.

Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna too were knocked out on Tuesday. The last hope of India will be lying on the Mixed Doubles pair of Leander Paes and Sania Mirza who will be starting their campaign on Thursday.
