Poor Sania. Right when she was at her best, she has to sit out. We all knew she was fighting against a back problem, and I guess it just gave out during the second round vs. Meng Yuan.

The terrible news from the Hindu:

Sania Mirza’s run was cut short when she retired hurt in the second round of $200,000 WTA Thailand Open tennis tournament here on Thursday.

The fifth-seeded Indian was trailing 5-7 against Meng Yuan of China when she suffered a lower-back strain and threw in the towel before the start of the second set.

The Bangkok tour was Sania’s last assignment before her scheduled break of around a month.

So yeah. I hope she uses her break to get healthy. I’m sure she’ll come back stronger than ever. She is still young after all, and she is only getting better. Even with a back injury, she was kicking butt all over the place! Get well soon, Sania.
