Yuki Bhambri, Anirudh Chandrasekar lose in men's doubles clashes at US Open
NEW YORK: India's Yuki Bhambri and Anirudh Chandrasekar bowed out of the US Open after both suffered first-round defeats in the men's doubles here.
Bhambri and his New Zealand partner Michael Venus were beaten by American pair Ryan Seggerman and Patrik Trhac 7-6 (4), 7-6 (3) in a closely fought opening-round contest.
The defeat was a disappointing result for Bhambri and Venus, who had reached the semifinals at the US Open last year.
Chandrasekar, partnering Belarus' Ivan Liutarevich, also went down fighting, losing to British duo Arthur Fery and Joshua Paris 4-6, 7-5, 4-6 in the first round.
