French Open: Sania Mirza/Bethanie Mattek-Sands enter doubles Round 3

Sania Mirza and her partner Bethanie Mattek-Sands progressed to the third round of the women's doubles event with a three-set win over American pair of Lauren Davis and Megan Moulton-Levy here.

Seeded seventh, the Sania-Bethanie duo came back from a set down to beat the American combination 1-6 6-3 6-0 in one hour and 41 minutes.

The Indo-American duo will next face 11th seeded Rusian-Czech pair of Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Lucie Safarova.

Sania had already exited from the mixed doubles event in the opening round. Sania's defeat with her new Swede partner, Robert Lindstedt was shocking as they were the top seeds. They lost to Aisam-ul-haq Qureshi and Cara Black.
