Putting behind the disappointment of her singles loss, Sania Mirza and Slovak Janette Husarova today cruised into the second round of doubles competition with a 6-1, 6-3 win over the Spanish-Columbian pair of Conchita Martinez and Catalina Castano.
Sania, who crashed out of the singles competition yesterday following her first round loss to Russian Anastasia Myskina, and Husarova dominated the match from the start and did not give any breathing space to their opponents.
The Indo-Slovak pair raced away with the first set 6-1, as Martinez and Castano struggled to match them. The second set followed almost the same pattern except that the Spanish-Columbian pair put up some degree of resistence and managed to win three games, but Sania and Husarova had taken control of the situtation by then and saw off the little challenge thrown by their rivals to take the set 6-3 and pocket the match.
Sania and Husarova will now take on the winners of the match between third seed German-US pair of Anna-Lena Groenefeld and Meghann Shaughnessy and Michaella Krajicek (Netherlands)/ Agnes Szavay (Hungary).
Despite struggling in the singles circuit, Sania has managed good results in doubles. She teamed up with Australian Alicia Molik to reach the finals of last week's Istanbul Open.
