Pattaya: <\/strong>Sania Mirza along with her Australian partner Anastasia Rodionova reached the WTA Pattaya Open final after defeating Akgul Amanmuradova and Kimiko-Date Krumm in straight sets. Meeting them in the final will be Chan Hao-Ching and Chan Yung-Jan.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Indo-Australian pair lost eight games and stamped their authority with a 6-4, 6-4 win. Sania has been having a good run in the doubles category of late. The 25-year-old Hyderabadi, who lost in the singles quarterfinal on Friday, made amends by making it to the women’s doubles final, as she and her partner came up with high-quality display against the third-seeded opponents. It may be recalled here that Sania has decided to focus more on doubles so as to be in the reckoning for a slot in the London Olympics by trying to stay in the world top 10 women’s doubles rankings
<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Maria Kirilenko will play against defending champion Daniela Hantuchova in the women\u2019s singles finals.\u00a0 Kirilenko survived a valiant comeback to defeat Sorana Cirstea, 6-2 5-7 6-4. In a match that was characterized by aggressive hitting from both players, it was Kirilenko, the No.4 seed, who was the early pace setter, reeling off five games in a row to take the opening set in half an hour. Kirilenko continued this positive approach in the second and after breaking in the ninth game, served for the match. <\/p>\n

However, Cirstea was not going quietly; she conjured up her best tennis of the match, winning the next three games, dropping just four points in the process, to force a third set. Yet it was the Romanian who was first to blink in the decider, dropping serve at 4-4 to allow Kirilenko to serve out the match. This will be Kirilenko’s first WTA final for nearly 16 months and she has certainly earned it, spending over nine-and-a-half hours on court. <\/p>\n

Defending champion Daniela Hantuchova, her opponent on Sunday, on the other hand, is yet to drop a set, requiring less than six hours to see off her four opponents. <\/p>\n
