Sania put up a brave fight before going down 2-6 6-7 (10/12) to Israeli Shahar Peer yesterday, but she entered the competition proper after Chanda Rubin pulled out with an ankle inflammation.
Sania will now play wild card Eleni Daniilidou, currently ranked 58th in the world. A win over the Grecian would pit the 18-year old Indian against second seed Venus Williams who has a bye in the first round.
Interestingly, a win over Peer could have set up a repeat clash with German Anna-Lena Groenefeld whom Sania defeated in the first round at Cincinnati. Groenefeld now will tackle Peer in the top half of the draw. PTI
