[R1] (15) Bethanie Mattek-Sands (USA)/ Sania Mirza (IND) l Nina Bratchikova (RUS)/ Edina Gallovits-Hall (ROU) 36 64 57
In the first set Sania and Bethanie had a break point in 7th game, 3-all, but failed to convert it and then lost their service game in 8th game to lose the first set ... In the second set they lost their serve in 3rd game but immediately broke back in next to make it 2-all ... Sania and Bethanie take crucial break in 10th game to won the second set ... In the third set Sania and Bethanie lost their serve in 3rd game but again they broke back to make it 2-all ... Sania and Bethanie lost 5th service game from 40-0 but they broke opponent's serve in 10th game when they were serving for the match to make it 5-all ... But Bratchikova and Gallovits-Hall easily broke Sania's serve in 11th game and then comfortably hold their service game to completed upset win.
Disappointing performance by Sania and Bethanie ... So with this first round loss Sania failed to defend her 1400 points as last year's finalist ... This also means she will be out of top 10 doubles rankings so she will miss direct entry in doubles for London Olympics.
