New Delhi- Sania Mirza failed to rediscover the same magic which saw her vanquish some of the best in the business in the last few months as she bowed out in the first round of the 3.1-million dollar Nadaq-100 Open WTA Tour tennis event in Miami, USA. The 18-year-old Indian went down to Spaniard Maria Sanchez Lorenzo 2-6 5-7 yesterday in one hour and 13 minutes in the Tier 1 tournament, which belongs to the level next only to the Grand Slams.
Playing as a wildcard in what was only her second event at this level, Sania struggled with her serves -- making eight doubles faults as against just one ace -- and had as many as 10 break points against her out of which Lorenzo converted seven.
In fact, the 77th-ranked Indian failed to hold on to her serve in the first set and the two games she won were by breaking her opponent, 11 places below her in world ranking.
