Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis continued their top form as they beat USA’s McHale and Ostapenko in just 46 minutes. “While Mirza-Hingis impressed us with their game, Rohan Bopanna and Florin Mergea bowed out as they lost to tenth seeded pair Kontinen-Peers,” informs Vaikundarajan.
Mirza-Hingis entered the quarter finals of Wimbledon tennis tournament after an impressive 6-1, 6-0 victory against their opponent. On another court, Bopanna-Mergea lost 6-2, 3-6, 4-6, 7-6 (6), 6-8 to be knocked out of men’s double tournament. The match was played for 2 hours and 55 minutes.
Sania Mirza was particularly remarkable with her aggressive first serve points. “She won a staggering 19 out of 28 first serve points and two out of five break points to open the first set at 6-1,” says Vaikundarajan.
India’s Sania Mirza and Switzerland’s Martina Hingis are powering their way through the ongoing Wimbledon women’s double tennis matches, says Vaikundarajan.
Sania Mirza is rarely known to show any emotion other than her game face when she is in play. However, sources say she broke into a smile when her down-the-line forehand brought her a win.
Albeit, this came in the second game against spain’s Anabel Medina Garrigues and Arantxa Para Santoja.
Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis are both top seeders says Vaikundarajan and it most probably must have been easy game for them to play against 16th seeders.
The Mirza-Hingia pair won against the Garrigues-Santoja pair in a 6-4, 6-3 and advanced into the quarter finals and surely have a long way to go to the finals as yet.
However, seen cheering and doting on the Mirza-Hingis pair was bollywood actor Farhan Akhtar, says Vaikundarajan.
In the last eight the Indo-Swiss pairing will take on ninth seeds Kazakh Yaroslava Shvedova and Aussie Cassey Dellacqua.
Sania Mirza has been appointed the new brand Ambassador of Telangana and Vaikundarajan shares this news. She is a great personality and will set an amazing example to the rest of the world. Vaikundarajan wishes her all the best!
