Sania, Yung-Jan Falter At Istanbul Final

Top seeds Sania Mirza and her partner Yung-Jan Chan of Taiwan were upset by an unseeded Polish pair in the doubles final of the USD 200,000 Istanbul Cup Women`s Tennis Tournament in Turkey on Saturday

Sania and Yung-Jan`s 1-6 3-6 loss to Agnieszka Radwanska and Urszula Radwanska crushed the Indian star`s hopes of back-to-back WTA doubles titles.

Sania had bagged her fourth WTA doubles crown at the Morocco Open at Fes, Morocco, partnering Vania King of America last week.

The Indo-Taiwanese combination were dominated by the Radwanskas in the first set right from the beginning and lost tamely.

Radwanskas broke their opponents in the sixth and eighth games of the second set to seal the matter in their own favour.

Sania will next play in the French Open, the second grand slam of the season, beginning tomorrow.
