Paes-Vesnina end runners-up at Wimbledon

Leander Paes and Elena Vesnina pose with the runner up trophy after losing against Mike Bryan and Lisa Raymond in the mixed doubles final match at the All England Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon, England, on Sunday.

Leander Paes and Elena Vesnina will have to wait for their first Grand Slam title together as they lost the closely fought Wimbledon mixed doubles summit clash to Mike Bryan and Lisa Raymond, on Sunday.

The fourth seeded Indo-Russian pair suffered a 3-6 7-5 4-6 defeat at the hands of second seed Americans after battling for two hours and four minutes.

It is for the second time in this season that Paes and Vesnina have ended runners-up at a tennis Major as they had lost the final of the Australian Open in January to Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Horia Tecau.
