Yuki, Ramkumar bow out of French Open qualifiers

In Tennis, Yuki Bhambri went down fighting while Ramkumar Ramanathan suffered a tame defeat as the two Indians bowed out of the French Open Qualifiers in Paris yesterday. 

Up against Canada's 25th seed Peter Polansky, Yuki lost the first



round match 6-7, 6-7. Ramkumar lost to Argentina's Guido Pella 2-6 1-6 in a lop-sided first round encounter. The defeat of both Yuki and Ramkumar means that yet again, no Indian will compete in the singles main draw of a Grand Slam event.
