We will try harder next time: Sania

On former coach John Farrington:

8216;8216;John was a great coach, but he wasn8217;t good to improve your hitting. At this point of time, I need somebody who can help me in that. That8217;s why I started practising with Asif Ismail. He was not coaching really, I just had a hit with him.8217;8217;

And Tony Roche?

Sania says her brief stint with the Australian coach, just before the start of the season, helped iron out several problems with her serve.

On two doubles wins with South African Liezel Huber:

8216;8216;I8217;ve never had a stable doubles partner, not more than two tournaments on the trot. Liezel has been doing well and she hasn8217;t had a fixed partner either.8217;8217; Hence the hint at a steadying of a pair, perhaps.

NOTE: Doubles ranking up now at 39.

On playing for at the Asian Games:

8216;8216;I love the team spirit that goes with playing for the country. I8217;m really looking forward to it.8217;8217;

NOTE: Mirza won the mixed doubles bronze with Leander Paes at the Busan Games in 2002.
