Sania Out of AO Mahesh Continues to grow stronger.

So after a very impressive start of the New Year, the Party ended too soon for Sania Mirza.
She is out of the Australian Open- from Doubles as well as Mixed Doubles.
The 20-year-old Indian and her partner Anabel Medina Garriques lost in three sets to sixth seeds Ai Sugiyama and Daniela Hantuchova 7-6, 6-7, 6-2 in the women's doubles.
In her Opening Mixed doubles Match, Sania and her partner France's Fabrice Santoro were beaten by second seeds Mark Knowles of Bahamas and Australia's Rennae Stubbs 7-6, 1-6, 10-7
I think she needs to be a little more consistant and rest will follow. What do you say?
Well at the End of the Day, there's something to cheer...
India's Mahesh Bhupathi and his Czech partner Radek Stepanek advanced into the quarterfinals of the men's doubles. They defeated the seventh-seeded Israeli pair of Jonathan Erlich and Andy Ram 7-6, 4-6, 6-3.
In spite of not committing even a single unforced error, Elrich and Ram were broken during the match at crucial junctures and were finally defeated by the unseeded Indo-Czech duo in just less than two hours.Bhupathi and stepanek will next face second seeds Jonas Bjorkman and Max Mirnyi in the quarterfinals
