Paes-Dlouhy lose in French Open men's doubles final

A second successive French Open doubles title eluded Leander Paes as the Indian ace and his Czech partner Lukas Dlouhy lost the final to Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic in straight set in Paris yesterday. In line for a second successive title, the defending champions ran out of steam and lost 5-7, 2-6 to their second seeded opponents Daniel Nestor of Canada and Nenad Zimonjic of Serbia in a 65-minute contest. Francesca Schiavone of Italy has won the Women's Singles Crown of the tournament. In the final, the World Number 17 beat Samantha Stosur of Australia in straight sets 6-4, 7-6. Schiavone was the first Italian to reach a Grand Slam Final. She is also the first woman from outside the top 10, since Margaret Scriven way back in 1933, to take the French Open Crown. Men's Final will be played today between Spaniard Rafael Nadal and Robin Soderling of Sweden.
