Top seeds Sania Mirza and Bethanie Mettack cruised into the quarter-finals of $175,000 Cincinnati Open after a straight set win over the Colombian-Chinese pair of Catalina Castano and Meng Yuan.
The Indo-American pair overwhelmed their unseeded rivals 6-4, 6-0 in a first round match of the Tier 3 hard court tournament here yesterday. Sania and Bethanie were broken just once in the near hour-long contest.
In the next round, the duo will take on either wild cards Kirsten Flower (The USA) and Connie Hsu (China), or Lilia Osterloh (The USA) and Anastasia Rodionova (Russia). Sania, teaming up with Poland’s Marta Domachowska, finished runner-up here last year.
The 20-year-old Indian had earlier entered the second round of singles, where she will be up against Varvara Lepchenko.
