Rithvik Bollipalli's search for a maiden win in a Grand Slam main draw continued as the Indian and his Colombian partner Nicolas Barrientos suffered a tame straight-set defeat in the French Open men's doubles opening round here on Wednesday.

Canada's Gabriel Diallo and Briton Jacob Fearnley dominated the contest, winning 6-0 6-2 in just 56 minutes.

Bollipalli and Barrientos, who won the ATP 250 Chile Open in March, struggled to serve well and make returns, gifting away easy points to their rivals. Often the Indo-Colombian combo left a gap on the court for their rivals to exploit.
