Paes and his 99th doubles partner Klaasen tried hard but simply could not get the better of their opponents and eventually went down 3-6, 6-7 (4).
Despite the partisan crowd support, the 41-year-old Indian fell short of winning his seventh title here.
Paes, who has entered his 25th ATP season, acknowledged the fact that he and his South African partner lost to a better team.
"They played a great match today. I'd love to see the statistics. I don't think they missed too many first serves.
Having said that, I'd like to thank my partner for a good start to the new season," said Paes at the post-match on court interview.
"We have to concentrate on the tournaments in the coming weeks. We look forward to a great partnership."
