India's Rohan Bopanna and his Romanian partner Florin Mergea were knocked out of the French Open men's doubles event after being handed a straight-set defeat in the quarterfinals in Paris on Wednesday. Bopanna and Mergea, seeded sixth, went down 4-6 4-6 to third seeds Ivan Dodig of Croatia and Marcelo Melo of Brazil. In a lopsided contest, Bopanna and Mergea struggled to handle Dodig and Melo's fine service game. The Indo-Romanian combine was broken once in the opening set and failed to convert either of the two break points it earned. Bopanna and Mergea also committed a couple of double faults.
