India's tennis sensation Sania after her flawless first round performance in the years first Grand Slam tournament of Australian Open will now face the lanky Russian Nadia Petrova who also won her first round match against her fellow countrywomen.
The task is cut out for Mirza but she will be very confident after winning her first official match in nearly Six Months after she was forced to pull-out from the Olympics citing a career-threatening Wrist injury and also made her sit for the latter part of the season.
Sania looked very much in rythm on course her win over the 61st ranked polish and her potent forehand seemed to have gone more stronger and the forceful rest may have done more good for her than bad in terms of her development as a player.She was looking very match-fit,agile and her net play has improved considerably courtesy her doubles play.
The head-to-head record also works in Mirza's favour because till date they have met twice and both have registered a win each,given the fact that Nadia has long been in the top 25 players list.
