Sania started well and take 3-0 lead breaking Virginie's serve in 1st and 3rd game but old known problem of first serve percentage haunted Sania ...

In tie-break Sania had mini-break and was leading 2-0 but Virginie fought back to take mini-break and then take crucial mini-break to won the first set ... Sania had 41% first serve percentage ... In the second set also Sania started with early break on Virginie's serve in 2nd game ... In this set Sania didn't lose control and take another break to won the second set ... In this set her first serve percentage was increast to 61% and she served 4 aces ... Sania struggled to break Virginie in the decider ... Virginie broke her in 7th game and 9th game to won this match ... Disappointing loss for Sania .. She had a great opportunity to won this and also missed chance of facing WR #1 Caroline Wozniacki in the second round.

Somdev take crucial break on Denis's serve in 10th game to won the first set ... In the second set Somdev broke Denis in 6th game to take 4-2 lead and after that Denis retired from the match due to injury ...
