Elena Vesnina ends partnership with Sania for a chance at Olympic glory

India’s top tennis star and Olympic medal prospect Sania Mirza will not
combine with regular partner Elena Vesnina over the next few months on the
doubles tour.

Mirza will play next week’s Premier event in Stuttgart with Italian Flavia
Pennetta as Vesnina has decided to partner with a fellow Russian with an eye
towards the upcoming Olympic Games in London.

Sania and Elena have been a formidable dooubles team in the last 15 months,
winning several WTA titles and reaching the finals of the French Open last
June.

Sania, currently ranked 9th in doubles, need to maintain her top 10 ranking
to get an automcatic qualification for the London Games in doubles.

Sania’s father also revealed that the Indian is keen to partner with
American Bethanie Mattek-Sands in the long run. Sania will play with
Anastasia Rodionova in Estoril and at Madrid Masters.

“Vesnina has decided to partner Ekaterina Makarova with an eye on the
Olympics. Sania’s idea is to partner Bethanie Mattek-Sands in the long run.
They have played together before and have a good rapport. They even reached
the US Open quarters earlier. But Bethanie is coming off an injury so she is
not available to play doubles immediately. Because of that Sania has decided
to start the clay season with Flavia Pennetta and then play with Anastasia
Rodionova,” Imran Mirza, Sania’s father and coach on the tour, told a
leading Indian newspaper.
