Sania and Bethanie, who had encountered a back problem on Monday, had overcome American pair of Lauren Davis and Megan Moulton-Levy 1-6, 6-3, 6-0 in their second round match.

Sania's defeat means that now Leander Paes is the only surviving Indian in the French Open.

Paes has lost in the men's doubles but is still alive in the mixed doubles, where he and Jelena Jankovic will take on the eighth seeded pair of American Liezel Huber and Brazilian Marcelo Melo for a place in the quarter-finals.
