New York: Sania Mirza stretched herself against fourth seed Lourdes Dominguez Lino of Spain but still lost in her rain-interrupted singles second round match at the Forest Hill Women's Tennis Classic tournament on Friday.Sania lost 4-6, 7-5, 3-6 after resuming the play at 3-4 in the first set, which was interrupted by rains and play was suspended on Thursday.
The Indian, clinging on to 44th rank for around a month now, was brave enough to fight back into the match in the second set but ran out of steam in the decider to Lino, who is just one rank above her in the WTA charts.
Meanwhile in New Haven, Lindsay Davenport overcame a rain delay, a sore shoulder and the hard-hitting Samantha Stosur to advance to the final of the Pilot Pen tournament with a 7-6(3), 7-6(7) victory in two hours on Friday.
She will play Justine Henin-Hardenne, who advanced with a 6-3, 6-3 win over Svetlana Kuznetsova.
