Tennis News
At $220K PTT Pattaya Women's Open, Thailand

[F] Sania Mirza (IND,126) l (1) Vera Zvonareva (RUS,5) 57 16

In this match Sania committed 21 UFEs and 4 DFs ... But still Sania produced creditable performance in the first set, where she matched WR #5 in all aspect of games ... But after losing first set suddenly everything changed and Sania's game fall apart ... May be after long injury break playing so many matches in a week take toll on Sania, mostly she need to put extra work on physical conditioning ... But importantly her game is back on track, so if she remain injury-free I have no doubt that Sania will be in top 50 in next few tournaments.

At € 1.445M ABN Amro World Tennis Tournament, Rotterdam, Netherlands

[F] (2) Leander Paes (IND)/ Lukas Dlouhy (CZE) l (1) Daniel Nestor (CAN) / Nenad Zimonjic (SRB) 26 57

Again Lee and Lukas lost in the final, this time Lee's old nemesis Zimo ... After losing first set easily they fought brilliantly in the second ... But Nestor and Zimo won 12th game breaking Lee's serve when Lee had game point ... The Serbian-Canadian duo saved all six break points they faced while also breaking serve three times – including in the final game of the match – to secure their fifth victory (5-0 record) over Dlouhy and Paes in 63 minutes.
