At $600K East West Bank Classic, Los Angeles, CA, USA

[R2] (16) Sania Mirza (IND,35) l Meng Yuan (CHN,122) 46 36

Sania lost good opportunity of going deep in this Tier-II tournament ... But today's loss blame wasn't only on Sania, it was also on condition on the court ... Sania's match was on the second court, which is at the top of the small hill and that is windiest ... Today Nicole Vaidisova also lost on same court with 46 06 scoreline ... Both players were affected by windy condition, but Sania was doubly affected because she hits the ball harder than Meng and it gets caught in the wind and gets carried out ... Other hand Meng was playing in the zone, she did only 5 UFEs other than 6 DFs.

As per report, Sania played quite well ... On a better day she would have won ... She is still not 100%, and that is expected till the wrist stings go away a bit more ... But importantly the shots are all coming around, and the power is also coming around and becoming more consistent.

At $50K Lexington Mens Challenger, KY, USA

I m speechless ... Simply awesome performance by Buji ... This counts as even bigger then his wins at Keneddy invitational as some pepole may have doubts as that was an exhibition event ... Here he repeated comeback victory against top-100 player, who is in good form these days; speak volume of level of game he is playing and his frightening mental toughness.

Next match is very important to grab SE spot for next challenger to avoid qualifying, so Go Somi STOP stoppini's juggernaut.
