Sania's injured ankle fine: Medical report

Tennis ace Sania Mirza's injured ankle has healed according to a medial report and it will be reviewed shortly, says Indian women Fed Cup team's non-playing captain Enrico Piperno.

"The MRI scan of the ankle has showed that the injury has healed completely, but her doctor has asked that it will be reviewed again in about 10-12 days to ensure that there is no recurrence," Piperno said.

The 18-year-old sensation, who is sitting out of the ongoing Fed Cup Asia-Oceania Group I matches here, would be hoping for a quick recovery to prepare for the French Open next month.

Sania has already received, and accepted, an invitation to play in the singles of the Grand Slam event.

Sania had to give her ankle a break to allow the injury to heal completely, but constant tournament appearances after her Australian Open third-round exit in January did not permit that.
