Sania in round two

Sania, world number 27, now meets 60th ranked Laura Granville in the second round.

The Hyderabadi began well by pocketing the first set, conceding just two games, before the Estonian hit back. In the final set, Sania was in her element again and broke the Estonian twice. She dropped just one game in the set and was serving for match when Kanepi buried a return into the net and bowed out.
