Mirza奧運夢落空？ - 亞網 Tennis

去年在法網拿女雙亞軍的Mirza法網首輪爆冷出局，
被扣1400分的她女雙排名肯定掉出前十，失去直接參加奧運雙打機會。
現在唯一希望就是看印度網協提出單打外卡申請是否成功。

其實Mirza當初想要參加奧運也是想靠混雙拼獎牌，
因為印度的女雙二姐排名是500多位，和Mirza搭根本沒有奪牌希望，
倒是印度的Paes已獲雙打參賽資格，兩人搭混雙希望蠻濃，
不過現在一切都變不確定了啦。

Sania Mirza faces first-round defeat; Olympic spot in jeopardy

The Indian hopes of getting an Olympic spot, in the upcoming London Olympics
received a blow, when Sania Mirza crashed out of the women doubles in the
first round. World No.10 Sania, partnering American Bethanie Mattek-Sands,
needed to stay in top-10 before the June 11 cut-off mark for a direct entry
into the doubles draw at Olympics.

Retaining her spot in the top-10 would not only have ensured Sania a place in
the main draw at London but also given her a shot in the mixed doubles. And
for that, she needed to defend 1400 points at the Roland Garros, where she
was a finalist last year. Only a top-10 player can choose his/her partner at
the Olympics. But Tuesday’s 3-6 6-4 5-7 defeat to Nina Bratchikova of Russia
and Edina Gallovits-Hall of Romania means Sania will now have to rely on a
wild card entry in the singles draw, for which the All India Tennis
Association (AITA) has already applied.
