Bryan brothers knocked out

June 02, 2008 20:33 IST

Top seeds Mike and Bob Bryan continued the American flop show at this year's French Open [ Images ] when they were knocked out of the men's doubles competition in the quarter-finals on Monday.

The 2003 champions were beaten by the Uruguayan-Peruvian pairing of Pablo Cuevas and Luis Horna 6-3, 5-7, 7-6.

Their defeat compounded a miserable day for the United States after Robby Ginepri also bowed out when he was beaten in the men's fourth round by Fernando Gonzalez [ Images ] of Chile.

Ginepri was the sole American to reach the last 16 in either singles draw.
