There will be no Indians in this year's French Open singles draw as all three contenders, including Yuki Bhambri, bowed out after second-round defeats in the Qualifiers in Paris.

Yuki suffered a 4-6, 3-6 defeat against Germany's Tim Puetz while Ramkumar Ramanathan was routed 2-6, 0-6 by America's Jared Donaldson.

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 Sania Mirza in women's doubles, while Rohan Bopanna will play in the men's doubles.
