August 23rd, 2009By Jilawatan
It was a mixed day for the Indians at Vancouver as Prakash Amritraj crashed out of the $175,000 Oldum Brown VanOpen at the hands of former Australian Open finalist Marcos Baghdatis rather tamely in straight sets 6-4, 6-1. Keeping the Indian flag flying high is top seed Sania Mirza, who was made to work hard by American qualifier Mallory Cecil before prevailing 6-4, 7-5.
Top seed Sania Mirza marched into the quarterfinals of the $175,000 Oldum Brown VanOpen with a comfortable straight sets win over American Laura Granville, 6-2, 6-4.
Top seed Sania Mirza will chase her second consecutive ITF Challenger title when she takes on second seed Stephanie Dubois in the final of the Oldum Brown VanOpen on Sunday.
