Sania advances to 2nd round of Australian Open; keeps Indian hopes alive

Asia’s leading sports broadcaster, will showcase live & exclusive action from Australian Open 2009. Sania Mirza advances into a 2nd round clash with Russian tenth seed Nadia Petrova in the women’s single section of the Australian Open tomorrow at 5:30 am IST at the Margaret Court Arena.

Sania Mirza is ranked outside the top 100 in the world, but even the best on the circuit know that the Indian is no pushover.

Sania’s second round match against Russian 10th seed Nadia Petrova on Wednesday at the Australian Open promises to be a thriller.

I must admit it was a relief to see Sania Mirza not only back in action, but back in contention and actually proving a point. I can say without any doubt that, yes, our champ is back to her old self.
