Career-threatening injury haunts Sania Mirza
India's Sania Mirza lost 6-3, 6-4 to Spaniard Anabel Medina Garrigues in the Dubai Championships first round yesterday and then spoke of worries over a recurring injury to her right wrist. The unseeded Sania, who had wrist surgery in 2008, needed treatment during her defeat by Anabel.
"When something that was a career-threatening injury ... starts to come back you obviously start having a lot of thoughts in the middle of the match," she said.
"It hurts when I stretch out for a forehand. It hurts when I try to hit a hard backhand crosscourt.
"I was thinking in the match, 'What am I going to do? Do I play in Malaysia next week? Do I go back home? Do I see my doctor?' All these things are going on in your head."
Israel's Shahar Peer, at the centre of controversy a year ago when she was refused entry to Dubai, beat 13th-seeded Belgian Yanina Wickmayer 3-6, 6-2, 7-5 in an incident-free match.
"I think the treatment I get from the people here is amazing ... including security," said Shahar. "They are really kind, they are doing everything for me.
"I really wanted to win this match, not only because of tennis but to make a statement that politics and sport should not be involved. There is no place for that for me."

Sania slips in WTA ranks
The first round exit from the Pattaya Open last week severely affected Sania Mirza's singles ranking as the Indian slipped 18 positions to 77 in the latest WTA list issued today.
Sania's start to the 2010 season has been far from impressive as she could not cross the first hurdle at three tournaments -- including Australian Open -- out of the four she has played so far.
Sania's doubles ranking also suffered, going down to 36, a loss of three spots.

Paes rises; Sania, Bhupathi slip in rankings
Newly-crowned Australian Open mixed doubles champion Leander Paes on Monday rose a rung to seventh in the ATP doubles' ranking, displacing one-time partner Mahesh Bhupathi in the latest list.
Paes has 5575 ranking points, while Bhupathi lost a spot to slip to eighth with 5015.
Paes had made the quarter-finals in the Australian Open men's doubles event with Czech Lukas Dlouhy. He clinched the mixed doubles' championship with Zimbabwean Cara Black.
Bhupathi, on the other hand, had a forgettable outing at Melbourne Park, losing in the very first round of the men's doubles event due to a calf muscle injury.
The veteran later pulled out of the mixed doubles' event in which he was to team up with compatriot Sania Mirza.
Sania, meanwhile, also slipped down three rungs to 59th following her second-round exit from the Australian Open. The Hyderabadi, who recently broke off her engagement with childhood friend Sohrab Mirza, however, rose five places to 33rd in the doubles' chart.
