Sania in second round of Thailand Open

Indian tennis sensation Sania Mirza breezed into the second round of the $200,000 Thailand Open WTA tournament today after beating Slovakia's Henrieta Nagyova 6-1 4-6 6-0.

Seeded fifth, the 18-year-old Indian allowed her unseeded rival to stretch her into the third set after losing concentration in the second.

Sania, ranked 31 in the world, had made it to the semi-finals of the Japan Open last week where she lost to third seeded Tatiana Golovin of France 2-6 4-6. (PTI)
