Sania Mirza knocked out of French Open.....India's Sania Mirza on Thursday knocked out of the French Open.
India's Sania Mirza on Thursday knocked out of the French Open.
World no.13 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland powered her way into the third round of the French Open on Thursday with a hard fought 6-2, 6-4 win against India’s Sania Mirza. Radwanska, who has never gotten past the fourth round at Roland Garros in four appearances will next face the no.21 seed Yanina Wickmayer of Belgium, a 6-4, 7-5 winner against Ayumi Morita of Japan.
Twenty unforced errors including 5 double faults told the story of Sania s first set, a disappointing outcome for a player who has all the shots in her arsenal to be a top 20 player.
Mirza started the second set just as she had the first by breaking serve, and followed it up with her first hold of the match to take a 2-0 lead. Her joy was to be short-lived though as Radwanska crawled right back into the contest drawing level at 2-2 before a pair of breaks and subsequent holds left them locked at 4-4.
Radwanska held serve in the crucial 9th game and then like all top players put the pressure right back on Mirza as she served to stay in the match.

Misbah Lead Pakistani Cricket team in Ireland tour ......
Misbah-ul-Haq replaces Shahid Afridi as a Captain of Pakistani ODI cricket team, Misbah-ul-Haq will take this responsibility when the tour of Ireland will start in June, 2011….
Pakistan will play 2 ODI’s against Ireland in June and Misbah will be the new captain of Pakistan team in this tour but Shahid Afridi will be the part of this tour for Pakistan as a All-Rounder against Ireland….Shahid Afrdi performed really good as a captain in World Cup and also in the other series. Shahid Afridi won 18 matches and lost 15 matches as a captain, although this is not a bad record but Ijaz Butt says Misbah is better captain than Shahid Afridi, Under the captaincy of Shahid Afridi Pakistan reached out the semi final of World Cup 2011 in Asia earlier in this year and this was a very big achievement for Pakistan….
Anyhow, Shahid Afridi will no more as a captain for Pakistan ODI team, but in T20 Shahid Afrdi still play as a captain of Pakistan…..
So, this is very bad and sad news for all the fans of Shahid Afridi and for the whole Pakistan cricket team and Nation, Because Shahid Afridi was very great captain and also he performed well as a captain…..
