[R2] Sania Mirza (IND,87) l (16) Kaia Kanepi (EST,24) 57 26
Doubles
[R1] Sania Mirza (IND)/ Mara Santangelo (ITA) bt Urszula Radwanska (POL)/ Stefanie Voegele (SUI) W/O (injury to Radwanska)
[R2] Sania Mirza (IND)/ Mara Santangelo (ITA) vs (1) Cara Black (ZIM)/ Liezel Huber (USA)
Sania had great start breaking Kanepi's serve in 3rd game but Kanepi fought back breaking sania's serve on luv in 8th game ... In 10th game Sania saved 1 set point to hold her serve ... But couldn't save another set point in 12th game ... Sania lost first set in 44 minutes.
In the second set Kanepi started well holding her serve on luv, but in 2nd game Sania was down 15-40 ... Sania saved 4 break points but Kanepi converted 5th break point to take lead in the second set ... Then things were getting worst for Sania as Kanepi again break her serve in 4th game ... In 6th game sania managed to hold to win 1st game of the second set ... Sania broke Kanepi's serve in 7th game while she was serving for the match, converted 4th break point ... But Kanepi broke Sania's serve after duece, where Sania saved 2 match points, to won match in 1 hour 31 minutes.
Frankly Sania must be tired, this was her 9th match in 8 days ... She is just coming out of career threatening wrist injury, so this was huge workload on her.
If this doubles match happened then that would be Sania's 10th match in 8 days ... But this time Sania and Mara recieved lucky break due to injury to Urszula Radwanska ... In second round they r facing WR #1 pair of Black and Huber.
Putting my efforts to support Indian players with publishing their results for fans all over the world and also for benefit of media people.
