Bad day in office

The one-hour-three-minute loss thus ended Paes-Bhupathi8217;s longest winning streak of 18 wins spread over two years.

In the first set the Indians 8212; who began as receivers 8212; handed Knowles/Nestor the advantage in the fourth game. Facing two break-points, the Indians could save one to trail 1-3. In the next, the Indians fought hard, forced deuce, then advantage before losing.

Holding the next, Bhupathi/Paes lost the seventh at love despite their opponents faulting their first serves. The next two were formalities as both held serves and the opponents belting down an ace for the set.
