At $25K womens ITF tournament , Woking, Great Britain

[R2] (2) Sania Mirza (IND,132) l Timea Babos (HUN,379) 46 46

Doubles
[R1] (1) Sania Mirza (IND)/ Laura Robson (GBR) bt Maria Abramovic (CRO)/ Malou Ejdesgaard (DEN) 76(2) 75

[QF] (1) Sania Mirza (IND)/ Laura Robson (GBR) vs Nigina Abduraimova (UZB)/ Tammi Patterson (AUS)

Timea Babos producing good results in these lower level tournaments but still no reason to support this loss of Sania against below top-375 player ... I hope nothing relation with recent controversy surrounding her that Shoaib Malik missed final XI test selection due to her.
