New Delhi: Sania Mirza edged past Eleni Daniilidou of Greece to set up a second round clash with reigning Wimbledon champion Venus Williams in 585,000 dollars Bank of the West Classic WTA Tier II tournament at Stanford, United States.
In a tightly contested match, the Indian won her first round match 7-6(4), 2-6, 6-3 - according to the information received here.
The 64th ranked Indian, who made it to the main draw after Chanda Rubin pulled out due to ankle injury, won a tightly contested first set which stretched to tie-break.
But the Hydrabadi girl made repeated unforced errors and conceded the set tamely to her opponent only to come back strongly in the third set to overpower the Grecian, ranked 58th in the latest WTA ranking.
Earlier, Sania lost her final qualifying round match against Shahar Peer of Israel 2-6, 6-7, but made it to the main draw as the lucky loser.
