Sania disappoints, Australia beat India 2-1

Sania Mirza failed to live up to the expectations and forfeited the advantage after Shikha Uberoi had upset higher ranked Casey Dell'Acua as Australia rallied to edge out India 2-1 to book their World Group II Playoff berth in the Fed Cup Asia/Oceania Zone Group I final in Seoul.

Shikha had given India a 1-0 lead by winning the first rubber 6-3, 6-2 but Sania was thrashed 4-6, 2-6 by Samantha Stosur and then Stosur partnered Rennae Stubbs to beat the the Sania-Shikha pair 7-6 (4), 6-2 to win the tie and advance to the next stage.
