Watched Sania Mirza’s US Open match this weekend. Unfortunately, Sharapova made short shrift of her. Mirza plays well and is a powerful hitter, but is erratic, and double faults like crazy. Of the few serves that do go through, the first one is faulty, and the second one is such a lollipop, that she doesn’t stand a chance. It’s amazing that she’s gotten where she has with the amount of unforced errors she makes.
Of the match, Outlook says :
“…For Sania, it was neither the abdominal strain nor the foot blisters but her weak second serve that proved to be her undoing…”
