It was a rare and first time honour for any Indian to get the top seeding at any WTA tournament. Expectations from her were very high as she was on a comeback trail after a long period of 8 weeks.

As expected the lack of match practise and the surface which was not her favourite one, posed some serious questions before her and Sania was not able to answer those. The result she crashed out of the singles in the first round itself.

However she is there in the doubles and was able to sustain . We can only say that prctise hard Saniya and Better luck in the next tournament.
