Paris. Indian men’s doubles pair of Yuki Bhambri and Saketh Myneni defeated French pair of Arthur Rinderneck and Enzo Sossaud in straight sets in the first round of the French Open tennis tournament here on Wednesday. Yuki and Saketh, who won the Bangkok Open Challenger in January this year, ousted Arthur and Enzo 6-3, 6-2 in 64 minutes in their opening match.
