DUBAI - Sania Mirza and her American partner Bethanie
Mattek-Sands Friday entered their second final of the season defeating
Australia’s Anastasia Rodinova and Zimbabwean Cara Black in the Dubai Duty Free
Tennis Championships.The Indo-American pair took one hour and 20 minutes to
complete a 6-2, 7-5 victory.
The battle was tougher than what the scoreline suggests and
Sania-Bethanie got over the line by winning the crucial points. They converted
three of their five break points while Black and Rodionova wasted the five
opportunities they got.
Sania-Bethanie play either Nuria Llagostera Vives and Jie
Zheng or Nadia Petrova and Katarina Srebotnik in the title clash.The
Indo-American combine started 2013 by winning the Brisbane International before
losing in the first round of the Australian Open.
