 Sania Mirza is focusing on winning her second successive mixed doubles title at the Australian Open after crashing out of women's singles.
"She (Rezai) is obviously playing well, She was a seed and it is never easy to play a seed first round. But yeah, of course it is disappointing. But that's the way it is. You just have to look ahead, I guess," said Sania about her first round loss in straight sets 4-6, 2-6 to her French opponent and 27th seed Aravani Rezai.
"No, not at all. I've never had a bad experience; personally I've not had anything. In fact, Australia is one of my favourite countries to come and play and Melbourne is one of my favourite cities, so... I think that is something that is very different to what we are doing, we are here to play tennis," the Indian tennis player said.

 Indian ace Sania Mirza opened her 2010 tennis campaign with a come from behind win against Swiss teenager Stefanie Voegele to advance to the second round of the ASB Classic in Auckland, New Zealand.
A rather erratic first set which saw 7 breaks of serve ended 7-5 in favour of Voegele as Sania struggled to land her first serve. The second set however was all Mirza as she dropped just 3 points on her own serve all set, and broke Voegele thrice to romp away with it 6-1. The decider, however, fell into the familiar pattern of the first, but this time it was Sania who prevailed 7-5 to wrap up the match in just under 2 hours. |

 Sania Mirza attended a fashion charity show presented by Shabana Azmi in Mumbai recently and the tennis star made fashion faux pas on the occasion. Pictures showed that her legs were tanned only up to her ankles showing white feet which were not tanned.
Apparently she was looking like an ugly duckling on the show. Even her dress ill suited her and she looked very out of shape in the attire she wore.
Indeed a fashion fault by the celebrity, the attached pic is proof enough.
