Indian tennis ace Rohan Bopanna and Czech partner Adam Pavlasek were shown the exit door in the ongoing 2025 edition of the French Open as the Indo-Czech duo succumbed to a 2-6 6-7(5) defeat at the hands of Fin Harri Heliovaara and Brit Henry Patten on Sunday.

Bopanna and Pavlasek looked to extend the game to a decider with a gritty second-set showing on the back of a tame first set, but the second-seeded Finnis-Brit pair held their nerve to clinch the tie breaker to register a victory.

Heliovaara and Patten romped to a 5-1 lead in the opening set with a double break before the Fin served out the set flawlessly, concluding the game with an overhead smash on a return.

Bopanna started the second set strongly, holding his serve without dropping a point. Left-handed Patten also started aggressively, delivering measured and powerful angled serves.

Bopanna and Pavlasek found an opportunity at 2-3 in the second set when Patten began game six with a double fault and quickly fell to 0-30. However, the Briton managed to win four consecutive points to escape the threat.

There were no service breaks in the second set, leading to a tie-breaker. The second seeds emerged victorious when Heliovaara hit a stunning service return winner on the first match point.

In the Junior Championship, India’s promising talent Manas Dhamne was eliminated after losing 5-7 3-6 to fellow American qualifier Ronit Karki. The 17-year-old Dhamne had entered the main draw as a qualifier but could not perform at his best on Sunday.
