Sania beats Vinci to enter Forest Hills semis

Indian tennis sensation Sania Mirza registered a facile win against Roberta Vinci of Italy to enter the semifinals of the USD 75,000 Forest Hills Women's Tennis Classic tournament at New York.

Sania, seeded three, defeated the 59th ranked Vinci 6-2, 6-1 on Thursday in the quarter final of the WTA event featuring only 16 players.

The 18-year-old Indian, returning to the circuit after resting for almost a fortnight due to stomach strain, will challenge Alexa Glatch of USA, who defeated Akiko Morigami in the first round and Martina Sucha of Slovakia in the quarters, for a place in the title round.
