Sania and Ram could convert only one of the three break points that came their way while the winners converted the only one they got in the match. With this defeat, Sania’s campaign ended at the last grand slam of the season as she had already crashed out of the women’s doubles event after losing in the first round with American partner Coco Vandeweghe.

India’s Rohan Bopanna is still alive in the competition.

Bopanna and his Croatian partner, Ivan Dodig, are scheduled to play their men’s doubles second round against Hugo Nys of Monaco and Arthur Rinderknech of France.
