It seems Sania Mirza and Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki have similar tastes or they just landed up shopping at the sponsor's outlet together.


Sania Mirza had a little trouble overcoming Marta Domachowsk 6-1, 6-4 yesterday. After a small hiccup, Sania made a successful start to the Australian Open despite extended spells off the court due to a wrist injury.

It seems Sania Mirza and Denmark's Caroline Wozniacki have similar tastes or they just landed up shopping at the sponsor's outlet together. Not only do their outfits match colour-to-colour but their skirts are almost identical.


Yesterday, Sania who had not played a match since March survived a late onslaught from World No 61 Marta Domachowhska in her 6-1, 6-4 win in the first round of the Australian Open.

Sania raced away with the first set in just 25 minutes. The Hyderabadi led 2-0 in the second set before Marta stepped on the gas, winning four games on the trot, breaking Sania in the third and fifth games. From a comfortable 2-0, Sania found herself trailing 2-4 in no time. Under pressure, the 22-year-old got her act together and went on to win the next four games to seal the issue.

"I've not played a match in almost six months now. I'm just happy to have come through," Sania told SkySports.

What's wrong?
"At the Olympics no-one knew what was wrong with my wrist, so we didn't even know how to fix it.

"Those few days of my life were probably the worst because I didn't know if I was ever going to hold a racquet again. I mean it was hurting to even hold a fork."
