AO Q3: [24] Sania Mirza def. Stephanie Dubois 6-2, 6-3

Good job to Sania. :) Nice to see her in a MD again.

Sania :woohoo: gonna be a big danger in 1r
good luck in MD ;)

Nice forehand to finish. :hearts:

Stephanie :hug: Not a whole lot she could do today, too much power from the other side

Mirza played a pretty clean match, serve is still real sketchy but I think if she can keep playing at that standard she could win a round with the right MD placement. If she plays like she did in Auckland against Lisicki she'll be done in rd 1.

Sania was just way too powerful for Stéphanie, but it had to be expected. :sad:

Well done Sania and good luck in the main draw. :)

wowww Sania:woohoo: Her forehands were delightful to watch today:hearts:

Welcome to the MD Sania :yeah: Hopefully this will be the last Q draw she has to play ;).

Still a very solid run for Steph :kiss:

Well done :yeah: Now step up your game for the md.

Steph really has a limited game, shame. :( WD Sania.

the final FH :hearts: Hope Sania will get a kinder draw now :tape:

She played so well!


On the other hand, Dubois...:help: what was that? Does the girl have any weapons other than her swinging volley?

too bad she get henin
please surprise us sania

Disappointed for Stephanie :sad:, but good luck to Sania against Justine :eek: She's gonna need all she can get

:hysteric:

Steph :sad:

Too good from Mirza today, it seems.

Weird stats though, 76% of first serve by Steph, which is great, but 39% winning rate....75% bp conversion, but under 40% of returning points won...

Congrats Sania

Great stuff from Sania! Such a pity she drew Henin in the MD.

well done sania!

Well done Sania - cant wait to see her vs. Henin tomorrow it should make for a fun match

Stéphanie :sad: :hug: Expected result though.
