At $220K Japan HP Open International 2009, Osaka


[SF] Sania Mirza (IND,61) l (4) Francesca Schiavone (ITA,26) 26 16

Schiavone didn't give any chance to Sania in this match ... She won inside an hour breaking Sania's serve 4 times and didn't face a single break point on her serve.

I think Sania would be still happy after this one sided loss, she managed couple of good wins which cn give her confidence for next season.
