Superb easy victory for Sania and Mahesh against 8th seed pair ... This is Sania's first-ever grand slam final ... Now she is in chance of becoming first Indian woman grand slam winner and also youngest Indian grand slam winner, currently youngest grand slam winner from India is Mahesh Bhupathi (who won title at age of 23 yrs, French Open MXD in 1997).

Though scoreline showing one-sided score in the sets which Yuki lost, match was evenly played and both players had their chances ... Creditable performance from Yuki to reach semis in his first Junior AO.
