Rohan Bopanna's hopes of pocketing back-to-back ATP Challenger doubles titles were crushed when he and partner Pablo Cuevas faltered in the final of the Siemens Open tennis tournament in Scheveningen, Holland.
The second seeded Indo-Uruguayan pair put up stiff resistance before losing 6-7(6), 5-7 to unseeded local favourites Raemon Sluiter and Peter Wessels, on Sunday.
Earlier, Bopanna, who had won both the singles and doubles titles at the Irish Open in Dublin last week, made a first round exit in the singles competition.
