Posted by Z on July 28th, 2007
Sportsnob’s favourite tennis player Sania Mirza is on a roll in the U.S. hardcourt season. After a semifinal appearance at last week’s tournament in Cincinatti, she has reached the semifinals of the Stanford Classic.
After coming through a tough three setter in the first match against Japan’s Akiko Morigami, Sania then went on to defeat French teenager and World No. 19 Tatiana Golovin. And in the quarterfinals played last night, she upset fourth seed and World No. 17 Patty Schynder 7-6 6-1. Sania plays 8th seed Sybille Bammer of Austria tonight.
