SPORT SANIA 3 LAST

Apart from the triumph at the Australian Open which was
followed by the final appearance in Pattaya and a win over
Shahar Peer were the only high points of Sania's stay on the
tour, last season.
However, the Indian said after losing many a weeks due to
pain, the results achieved were satisfactory.
"As a matter of fact, I did play the semifinals in
singles in Birmingham and Osaka and won an ITF title in USA
besides making the final of a USD 100,000 event in Canada.
"I had singles wins over players like Bartoli and Shahar
Peer. Apart from this, I won a doubles title in Ponte Vedra
Beach.
"I finished at a singles ranking of 57 after having
dropped to the 120's following my wrist injury. I also had to
skip several weeks due to the niggling pain. So, under the
circumstances, I'm reasonably happy with my performance," she
said. PTI
