Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Tennis:  Rohan Bopanna and Yuki Bhambri's shocking defeat to a pair from Uzbekistan that has players ranked well below 300 in men's doubles was a huge setback for the Indian tennis squad at the Asian Games here on Monday as the rest of the squad marched on at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Tennis Stadium here.

Bopanna is ranked 7th in the World in men's doubles while Bhambri is 65th. Bopanna recently finished runner-up in the US Open and had partnered with Bhambri to help India to victory in the Davis Cup World Group II encounter against Morocco in Lucknow, a few days before leaving for Hangzhou.

On Monday, they were stunned by Uzbekistan's Sergey Fomin and Khumoyun Sultanov 6-2, 3-6, 6-10 in a second-round clash in men's doubles in a match played on the centre court on Monday.
