Divij Sharan and Purav Raja squandered a superb start to crash out of the ATP Challenger event in Furth, Germany as they lost the quarter-finals to local favourites Kevin Krawietz and Dominic Schulz.
The third seeded Indian pair, which had raced to a 4-1 lead in the first set, suffered a surprise reversal and bowed out with a 5-7 3-6 defeat in the euro 30,000 clay court event.
Not converting break points cost the Indians dear as they could cash in on just two of the seven chances they had.
On the other hand their rivals were quick to grab opportunities as they converted seven out of 10 chances.
The other three seeds pairs also lost in the quarter- finals, leaving the draw open for the remaining teams.
