Leander Paes [Images] remains the lone Indian hope at the French Open tennis tournament after Sania Mirza [Images] lost her doubles match at the Roland Garros in Paris, France [Images], on Friday.

Paes and Nenad Zimonjic continued their sturdy march, steamrolling the French pair of Nicolas Devilder and Marc Gicquel 6-1, 6-3 to reach the men's doubles third round.

Sania's campaign, however, came to an end when she and her Russian partner, Anna Chakvetadze [Images], were beaten 4-6, 7-4, 6-2 by 16th seeds Chinese Zi Yan and Jie Zhang.

The 18-year-old Indian had earlier lost in the singles first round.

Mahesh Bhupathi [Images] and Todd Woodbridge were upset in the first round by the United States' Kevin Kim and Hyung-Taik Lee of Korea on Thursday.
