Sania started well and after winning first set she was leading 4-2 in second but from here again old Sania showed up ... She lost next 4 games to lose second set ... In third set both players were regularly breaking opponent's service games ... But crucial hold of service game in third set came when Sania was up with break 4-3 ... After that both players hold their serves and win for Sania ... Sania must be tired after so many matches ... In the evening she played doubles final and tomorrow also she is in singles final.

Though she struggled from mid second set still Sania played gutsy game to finished match in decider after trading multiple breaks ... Sania and Uhlirova lost doubles final in close match against 2nd seed Goerges and Martic, so chance of double crown is over ... I m really hoping Sania lift singles title beating this 19 yrs old Serbian.
