Karnataka MLA Santosh Lad won a bid to play alongside Sania Mirza at the Bangalore Open.

Lad bid Rs 2 lakh on an internet auction for the chance to play with super Sania.

'I came to know it was for a good cause and so I said let me contribute. Then later they told me if you could spare 10 minutes and play rallies with Sania. I said okay no problems,' said Santosh.

Sania teamed up with Lad to win the 7-point tie breaker versus Shahar Peer of Israel and her partner Gayatri.

A bit later in the day it was back to the serious stuff as Sania and her doubles partner Liezel Huber of South Africa advanced to the semi-finals with a 7-6, 2-6, 6-4 win over Silvija Talaja and Martina Muller.

Sania has inspired several kids to take up the game of tennis and now it seems she has the same effect on politicians."
