Sania's semi-final against Rybarikova wasn't easy as Rybarikova is good player on grass ... Last year at Wimbledon Rybarikova reached in third round ... But this time also Sania had positive start winning first set ... But Sania struggled with her serve in 2nd set and Rybarikova take full advantage to win it without losing a single game ... In third set Rybarikova had an advantage after winning second set solidly and she didn't give much chance to Sania and won this match in 1 hour 35 minutes.

In same tournament Sania reached in doubles semis also ... Overall very satisfying tournament for Sania, she got good preparation for Wimbledon.
