New Delhi, Aug 23 (PTI) Sania Mirza gets back to court after a week off from the WTA tour at the USD 75,000 Forest Hills Women's Classic tournament in New York starting tomorrow.
Sania, who maintained her 50th ranking despite her absence from the circuit last week due to a stomach muscle pull, is seeded third in the tournament which has a draw of only 16 players.
The 18-year-old will take on 59th ranked Sahar Peer of Israel in the first round tomorrow, according to information received here.
Sania would look to avenge her defeat against Peer in the final round of qualifying at the Stanford event four weeks ago.
If Sania cleared the first two hurdles, she would bump into her nemesis Akiko Morigami of Japan in the semifinals. Morigami had beaten the Indian in a few encounters this season.
This will be the Sania's last event in the run-up to the US Open beginning August 29. PTI
