The top-seeded Indo-Belarussian pair failed to get even a single break point during the last night match which they lost 2-6 2-6 against the French pair.

Both Bhupathi and his partner played miserably for most part of the match, which lasted only 46 minutes.

Earlier Bhupathi and Mirnyi had booked a berth in the last eight beating 15th seed pair of Lucas Arnold and Mariano Hood of Argentina in their pre-quarterfinal match.
