NEW DELHI, Aug. 10. — After a string of fine performances, Sania Mirza’s juggernaut interrupted with her first round exit in the $585,000 WTA JP Morgan Chase Open tennis tournament in Carson in Los Angeles, USA.
Sania, who is suffering from a stomach muscle pull, gave a tough fight by stretching the match to three sets before losing 3-6, 6-, 4-6 against Iveta Benesova of Czech Repulblic, according to information received here today.
Benesova, ranked 51, has wins against the likes of Elena Jankovic (no. 18), Nicole Vaidisova (no. 27), Shuai Peng (no. 32) and Nuria Llagostera-Vives (no. 44), this year.
Sania has already opted out of Roger’s Cup to be held in Canada next week to be in proper condition before the US Open beginning on 29 August. — PTI
