Russian Evgeny Donskoy had ousted Somdev Devvarman 6-2 6-4 in his second round.The Indian challenge at the second Grand Slam of the season will be led by world number one Sania Mirza in women’s doubles. Rohan Bopanna will play in men’s doubles. Sania Mirza has been in tremendous form with Swiss ace Martina Hingis as her doubles partner. All eyes would be on the Indo-Swiss champions to life the trophy at Roland Garros over the course of fortnight. Despite the pair losing in the Rome Masters doubles final, they remain strong favourites at the red clay court.
