At BNP PARIBAS ATP Masters 1000, Paris

[R2] (3) Mahesh Bhupathi (IND)/ Mark Knowles (BAH) l Simon Aspelin (SWE)/ Paul Hanley (AUS) 46 76(6) (7)10
[R2] (4) Leander Paes (IND)/ Lukas Dlouhy (CZE) l Jordan Kerr (AUS)/ Travis Parrott (USA) 76(5) 46 (5)10

So our both seeded pairs lost at Paris Masters second round, they had bye in first round ... After US Open both pairs showed little interest in playing together ... Mahesh and Mark played at China Masters but Lee take a long break after his injury ... So these results didn't surprise me.
