Sania, currently ranked 32 in the world, lost to 17-year-old Krajecek (Netherlands) after an exciting back-and-forth matchup.

Although she performed admirably, Sania seems a little rusty.

The Hyderabadi girl struggled to get the timing in her shots throughout and even her ever-reliable weapon of forehand kept misfiring today.

As it were, she hit a forehand long to concede the match after an hour and 21 minutes committing five double-faults and 35 unforced errors along the way.

Sania recovered from a sluggish start to put up a tougher challenge in the latter part of the match, but committed far too many unforced errors to go down to her 17-year old Dutch opponent 6-3, 7-5.

We’re not worried though. Surely, Sania will get her accuracy back as she continues to compete in big opens.
