mcgillianaire"Sania Mirza pulled off the biggest win of her fledgling career when she upset world number 7 and US Open champion Svetlana Kuznetsova in straight sets 6-4 6-2 and moved into the quarterfinals of the Dubai Open women tennis championship on Tuesday." -Rediff.com
"It was Mirza's sixth straight victory following her first WTA tournament win in Hyderabad last month." -BBC Sport
"Mirza, who last month became the first Indian woman to win a WTA Tour title, fell and hurt her left ankle in the third game. She then was a point from dropping behind 5-0 in the first set. But she won 12 of the next 14 games in beating the Russian, who was last year’s Dubai runner-up." -MSNBC
"I just zapped myself out there,” Mirza said. “Even though I couldn’t move so well, I hardly made any errors after 0-4 in the first set. I knew I couldn’t move so well, so I just decided to go for short points, attack, and get the winners."
