Rain stops India's doubles tie - Paes Bhupathi

Rain played spoilsport to drop early curtains on the men's doubles quarterfinals match with the Indian pair of Leander Paes [Images] and Mahesh Bhupathi [Images] trailing 1-4 to the Swiss duo of Roger Federer [Images] and Stanislas Wawrinka in the Beijing [Images] Olympics [Images] on Thursday night.

The match was into its 16th minute with the seventh seeded Indians pushed to the corner when the sky opened up and what started as mere drizzle grew in strength, forcing the match officials to call off the tie.

Both the pairs would return on Friday to play out the remainder of the match.
