The Indo-Aussie duo of Rohan Bopanna and Matthew Ebden once again struggled to find their footing on the clay court as the second seeds were defeated in the Italian open by home favourites Simone Bolleli and Andrea Vavassori in dominant fashion, winning 2-6, 4-6.

This latest defeat extends their struggles to three tournaments. They have been unable to find their rhythm on the slower surface, and their struggles are a cause for concern as the French Open approaches.
