Earlier, Rohan Bopanna had already been knocked out of the tournament with his partner Ander Begemann.
Indo-Czech pair failed to make the most of their chances, as they got five break chances and ended up hanging their heads down as they lost 3-6 3-6 to the British pair. Paes and Stepanek had two chances in the first set and three in the second but they failed to convert even one. To make matter worse, their opponents converted every single opportunity to overpower them.
