Leander Paes and his German partner Andre Begemann squandered as many as five match points in the second set to eventually lose the summit clash to Guillermo Garcia-Lopez and Henri Kontinen in a three-setter at the ATP Winston-Salem Open here.

Spaniard Garcia-Lopez and Kontinen of Finland overcame seemingly insurmountable odds to deny one of the ATP World Tour’s all-time greats and take the Winston-Salem Open doubles title 4-6, 7-6 (6), 10-8.
