Leander-Jelena lost in well fought match against Huber-Melo in MXD ... After losing the first set our pair fought back and won the second set after dominating tie-break ... But surprisingly they failed to create challenge in match tie-break and lost it winning only 2 points ... So with this Indian challenge got over in this French open ... Very poor outing for our all doubles pairs as they failed to cross third round.
