Sania loses in first round of WTA event
After losing in the quarterfinals of the Cincinnati Open last week, Sania Mirza had another disappointing outing in the US after losing in the first round of the Stanford Tier-II WTA event.
The 42nd ranked Hyderabad Hurricane lost to little known Russian Vasilisa Bardina in straight sets.
The Indian number one’s continuing lack of consistency cost her a 6-3, 6-2 defeat at the hands of her 98th-ranked opponent, who now plays Anna Lena Groenefeld in the second round.
The tournament is by no means over for 19-year-old Sania as she is playing alongside American Bethanie Mattek in the doubles event.
