lol. Now can Sania do a Saina

gettouttahere .. sania was doing sainas much before saina and saina really learned all her saina from sania...

Very nice to see two consummate singles victories. There is no doubt that Sania is playing top-100 tennis consistently for the past 3-4 months, and her low ranking is simply a reflection of her long injury breaks earlier in the year. I am glad she is capitalizing on her good form at the Asiad, and is adding the vital points that will gradually push her back to where she belongs -- at least within the top-100 and (injuries permitting) the top-50 in about half a year.

Good comfortable run to the SF in doubles as well. Nice week in her adopted marital hometown.

Sania Mirza (IND) d. (1)Julia Goerges (GER) 61 76(8)
(1)Mirza/Uhlirova (IND/CZE) d. Lee-Waters/Moulton-Levy (USA) 26 75 10-5
Great Victory By sania against an Inform player,She is truly playing Some great Tennis
ipek senoglu described that Sania is playing top 30 tennis,If she plays well she will be in top 100 soon
Julia was in great form and has the wins of Ivanovic and Safina
Sania played great in 1st round also
Hopefully she will reach Final,Its her first Top 50 win of the season
Next up is Rodina
Nothing to loose sania,Please go for it
In doubles final she will be facing Goerges once again
Good luck sania

well done sania

Terrific result!!! This was really unexpected pleasent win by Sania ... Really good year-end gift of win over top-40 player to find which level she is playing ... Go Sania, now try to win title.

Next she is facing Russian girl Evgeniya Rodina for place in the final.

At $75K Dubai ITF Womens Tournament, UAE

[SF] Sania Mirz (IND,165) vs (8) Evgeniya Rodina (RUS,113)

Doubles
[F] (1) Sania Mirz (IND)/ Vladimira Uhlirova (CZE) vs (2) Julia Goerges (GER)/ Petra Martic (CRO)

Excellent win by Sania. I sort of expected this win after it was clear that she is continuing on her Asiad form going by her scores in the first 2 rounds. Yes. First top 50 win in a long time.

Go Sania.

Superb win, a straight set victory is just WOW. Go Sania

Sania was all in control of first set but in the second she was trailing 0-5 then she saved six set pints to win in tie beaker

Sania is suffering from back pain as well,Hopefully she recovers well,because she has a match at 1:30PM and has final of doubles
Please we don't want any other injury

Actually the article does not say that she saved 6 set points. She won 5 games in a row after being 0-5 down.

That is a really good sign. Not sure what made her trail 0-5, but there were cases in the past when she would not fight enought o save the set from falling behind like that. She is playing really well. The cricketer husband was watching - may be that was motivation too

I don't know why she is playing doubles - especially at this tournament. Her tendency to ask for injury trouble, always bugs me.

Marvellous win over a top-40 player, and one who is clearly playing near the peak of her career, having recently won her first WTA tour singles title and beaten Ana Ivanovic in Luxembourg 63 61 (after having lost to her twice before, in Linz earlier this year and at the AO last year). Sania had a win over Tammy Tanasugarn at the Asiad and over Akgul Amanmuradova (then ranked #60) in the WTA Guangzhou event IIRC, so she has been in pretty good form for several months now.

The back injury worries me, though. I do wish she would focus on singles for awhile, get her ranking back into the top-80 or so, and then work on lifting that doubles rank.

that was a great comeback..she has lost few matches where she was up 5-0 or 5-1 ...but here the case was totally opposite.incredible stuff.

WOW!!Thanks PKB for that info. I did not know that. So this is a big win for Sania!! Go Sania win the title now.

Mirza already up a break over Rodina 4-1.

Both players hold their serves. Mirza leading 5-2.
