Sania Mirza, ranked 27th in the world, is the only indian woman to be seeded at the US Open tennis tournament.

It has been a great year for her and to make it even better she now has to go past world No. 6 Anna Chakvetadze in the third round of the US Open.

It has been a mixed bag for Sania at the Flushing Meadows as after some initial jitters in her first round match against Kaia Kanepi, the 20-year-old played a much better game in the second round beating Laura Granville in straight sets.

Now Sania will meet Anna Chakvetadze for a place in the next round.

“We just met in the corridor and I’m like ‘I’m sick of meeting you!’ And she’s like ‘You’re my opponent.’ We’ve been great friends for a long time. We used to play doubles together in juniors. I mean, I have no pressure to be honest,” A smiling Sania said.
