Paes went on to drop his serve in the seventh game and from there on match took a dramatic turn as the French sealed the second set while Llodra served for the 10th game of the set.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>Both the pairs came hard at one another in the final set they contested, but the Indo-Czech duo had a share of luck as Mahut committed some errors to give his oppositions&#8217; a lead.
