In the second round of mixed doubles of the French Open, Sania Mirza makes an early exit while Leander Paes moves ahead to the third round It was another mixed day for Indian fans on June 3, 2007, as Indian hope Sania Mirza failed to win her second round mixed doubles match. On the other hand, Leander Paes moved on to the third round. The Indo-French pair of Sania Mirza and Fabrice Santoro failed to match the hard-ground strokes of their sixth seeded opponents Katarina Srebotnik and Nenad Zimon-jic, and eventually lost out in straight sets 2-6, 6-7 in the second round. Sania, who had recently recovered from her injuries, had returned to the circuit only two weeks back. She will be pairing up with Anette Husarova of Slovakia for the doubles. But Indian fans have something to cheer about as well. Leander Paes and his American partner, Megan Shonessy moved on to the third round by winning in three sets 6-2, love-6, 10-8 against the US-Taipei pair of Mike Bryan and Yung Chan.
