7-6 to the Polish pair in the second set tiebreak. And we're done here as Paes and Bopanna crash out of the Olympic Games.
15:37 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
Not yet...Poland level up to 6-6!
15:37 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
6-5 to INDIA in the second set tiebreak. Set point India?
15:36 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
5-4 Poland. We're inching closer and closer to that moment now. The moment of truth. Who stays, and who goes?
15:34 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
But wait, there's more! 4-3 now to Poland.
15:33 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
There was a tenacious fight back from India in the second after Poland looked quite set to wrap things up. Right now though, they're back there.
15:32 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
3-1 to Poland now in the tiebreak. They're taking this quite quickly.
15:31 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
POL 2-1 IND in the second set tiebreak.
15:30 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
India aren't able to consolidate on that break, sadly, which takes us to 6-6 in the second set. We'll now see the players fight it out in a second set tiebreak to see if this match ends here, or we go to a decider.
15:30 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
It's 6-6 now. Second set tiebreak!
15:29 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
This is a golden chance for India to get right back into this match! This could go to a deciding set if they play their cards right. Can they bring back the strong attack from set 1?
15:27 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
And Leander Paes isn't done fighting. At 6-5 now, India will serve for the second set. Is there more in this match than we thought?
15:26 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
Good news for India - they BREAK!
15:24 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
BREAK POINT! Can Bopanna and Paes take back some control?
15:22 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
And he does it! Temporary respite for India as they level the second set at 5-5. They're not done just yet...
15:21 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
Can Leander Paes, with India serving to stay in the match, pull this one off? It seems like an unlikely task but if anyone could do it, it would be Paes.
15:20 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
It's grim scenes for India at their doubles match. Hopefully the mixed and women's doubles can see more success for the team.
15:19 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
Poland are now up 5-4! It's up to Leander Paes to help keep India in this.
15:17 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
Lukasz Kubot has played some outstanding tennis today. He's been instrumental in helping secure the first set for Poland!
15:18 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
So the advantage - and not in the tennis sense, currently lies with Matkowski and Kubot.
15:16 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
Holding serves strong now. 4-4 to Kubot and Matkowski as each team holds their service games... but given that the Polish pair started the second set on serve, the ball is still in their court. (Excuse the pun!)
15:14 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
We did see a lot more attacking tennis in the first set, though, and the energy seems to have dropped somewhat.
15:14 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
Paes and Bopanna consolidate to avoid giving Poland a 4-2 lead and it's going evenly in the second, as it was in the first.
15:14 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
It's 3-3 as the Indians hold serve!
15:13 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
Woah, lucky! Paes and Bopanna save break point right there!
15:13 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
Paes will want to bow out on a strong note - and a tame loss to Poland in the first round would be disappointing for the 17-time Grand Slam winner.
15:12 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
3-2 to Poland in the second. They're already up a set and it's the Indian side in dire straits tonight. It's likely the last Olympic games for the 43-year-old Leander Paes.
15:10 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
There were five breaks of service in the first set. None so far here!
15:07 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
All games have been won on serve in the second. Is this going to be a tame exit for the exalted Indian pair?
15:06 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
And it's 3-2 now. Unlike the first set, which saw repeated breaks of serve, this set is moving quite sedately...
15:05 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
India has had four breaks in a row. Not promising at the moment but both Paes and Bopanna have made some strong comebacks in their respective careers. Indian fans will be hoping for one now!
15:03 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
And it's downhill for India now! Poland lead 2-1 in the second.
14:59 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
It's now do or die for Paes and Bopanna. Their attack has been strong but their defense is simply not good enough today. Can they pull something out of the bag or will they see a first round exit?
14:56 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
Although they broke their rivals today, the Indian pair were broken back too - three times, the third and final to end the set in favour of the Poles.
14:50 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
14:50 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
And that's the end of the first set. Marcin Matkowski and Lukasz Kubot win the first set 6-4 as they take a 1-0 lead in their doubles tie against India.
14:47 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
And it's all gone a bit upside down for the Indians after they started off well. It's now 5-4 to Matkowski and Kubot who held serve, and Bopanna will now serve for India to stay in the set.
14:46 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
What a game going on! Polish pair Kubot-Matkowski fighting back in style against Paes-Bopanna. 1st set all level at 4-4. #Rio2016 #IND

No dice, unfortunately! Paes and Bopanna don't manage to hold serve, broken back yet again by Matkowski and Kubot. They're now level at 4-4 in the first. Is it going to go down to the wire?
14:40 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
And yet another break for the two! They now lead 4-3 - and will need to hold their serve to go up against their rivals in the first set!
14:38 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
The Indians saved two break points as they took a 3-2 lead.
14:34 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
Surprisingly, it is still the Polish pair who are favourites to win tonight. Can the experienced Indians pull off a stunner?
14:33 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
Good news for Indians! Paes and Bopanna are currently leading 3-2 in the first set against Matkowski and Kubot, up a break of serve!
14:31 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
On serve right now - poles lead 2-1. Key bit coming up, how does Leander serve hold up #Rio2016 pic.twitter.com/WQ0Zd2CqJQ

His top 10 ranking saw Bopanna gain Olympic entry - originally choosing Saketh Myneni as a partner, but this decision was overruled by AITA, who sent Leander Paes instead.
14:30 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
Bopanna has had a fairly successful year on the ATP circuit with partner Florin Mergea of Romania, with whom he made the top 10 ATP rankings. He entered the top 10 with Mergea earlier this year.

The tall Bopanna has a big serve, much like Paes' longtime former partner Mahesh Bhupathi. Could that work to their advantage?
13:51 (GMT)6 AUG 2016
There's been a lot of friction between Paes and Bopanna according to media reports, but their game could work well today.
Poland beats India 6-4, 7-6 with Marcin Matkowski and Lukasz Kubot victorious over Leander Paes and Rohan Bopanna.
