Sania Mirza-Cara Black Disappoint in US Open Semis
Third seeds Sania Mirza and Cara Black suffered a 2-6, 4-6 loss in an hour and 10 minutes to the unseeded team of Martina Hingis and Flavia Pennetta at the Louis Armstrong court here on Thursday.
It was the end of the road for India's Sania Mirza and her Zimbabwean partner Cara Black as the third seeded duo lost to Swiss-Italian pair Martina Hingis and Flavia Pennetta in straight sets in the US Open women's doubles semifinals here.
Sania and Cara suffered a 2-6, 4-6 loss in an hour and 10 minutes to the unseeded team at the Louis Armstrong court here on Thursday.
Last year as well, Sania, who was partnering China's Jie Zheng then, failed to get past the semis stage.
However, the Indian tennis star still has a shot at the top prize. Sania and her Brazilian partner Bruno Soares, the top seeds, will take on the American-Mexican team of Abigail Spears and Santiago Gonzalez in the final of the mixed event.
Sania is the only Indian left in the competition after Leander Paes and Rohan Bopanna bowed out from their respective doubles events in the earlier rounds.
