Oct 12: India’s Sania Mirza and her Swiss partner Patty Schnyder crashed out in the quarterfinal of the $2,340,000 Kremlin Cup. The top seeds Cara Black of Zimbabwe and Liezel Huber of South Africa overpowered the Sania-Schnyder duo 6-3, 5-7, 10-7 in an entrancing match of the WTA meet played at the Olympic stadium in Moscow on Thursday.
After losing the first set, Sania and her partner Schnyder regained their lost touch in the second set and won it 7-5 while they strived to win the match by giving a sturdy fight in the third set stretching it to 17 games, but Black and Huber turned out to be the winner at the end by eventually clinching the set 10-7 with luck must have been surely riding on their side as well.
It is strange enough that Sania and Huber played in a number of tournaments together and won various titles as well. The 29th ranked Sania came in to this tournament after a quarterfinal appearance at the Japan Open last week
Earlier on Monday, the 20-year old Sania Mirza crashed out, in the first round of the singles event of Tier I tournament in an hour and 15 minutes going down, 3-6, 4-6 to Argentine Gisela Dulko. This was the third straight time that the Argentinean had beaten the Indian in their meeting so far.
