Sania Mirza partnering Russian Anna Chakvetadze drew relatively easier rivals in the first round of women's doubles in the Wimbledon tennis championships beginning here on Monday.
The Sania-Anna duo will take on Alina Jidkova of Russia and Tatiana Perebiynis of Ukraine in the opening round tie of the doubles competition beginning on June 21.
Sania, who played alongside world no 43 Anna in the French Open and reached the second round, will be hoping for a better show at the All England grass courts where she won the junior doubles title in 2003.
In women's singles, World No 72 Sania will take on Japan's Akiko Morigami in the first round.
