Leander Paes and his partner crashed out of ATP Indian Wells Masters

Leander Paes and his Argentine partner Juan Martin de Porto crashed out in the opening round of the men’s doubles event to bring an early closure to India’s challenge at the ATP Indian Wells Masters.

Paes and Del Porto were no match for Luxembourg’s Gilles Muller and American Sam Querry as they suffered straight sets 3-6, 4-6 defeat to make early exit from the ATP Masters event.

A break of serve in each set was enough for Muller and Querry to pocket the comfortable win.
