India’s Sania Mirza booked a second-round clash with second-seeded Venus Williams Tuesday with a straight-sets victory in the one million-dollar Family Circle Cup.
Sania Mirza beat Sesil Karatantcheva of Kazakhstan 6-4, 6-4 to line up the marquee meeting with Williams, who will be launching her campaign on Wednesday afternoon after enjoying a first-round bye.
Fresh from her doubles triumph in a Florida WTA event last week, Sania Mirza will take on Kazakh Sesil Karatantcheva in the opening round of the USD one million Family Circle Cup clay-court tennis tournament here.
