\"Sania-VesninaIndian Wells<\/strong>: The Indo-Russian pair Sania Mirza<\/a> and Elena Vesnina<\/a> thrashed Argentina’s Gisela Dulko and Paola Suarez to advance to the semi-finals of the BNP Paribas Open<\/a>. The Indo-Russian pair took just over an hour to dispose of the Argentine wild card entrants 6-2, 6-3.<\/p>\n

The second seeded showed great form and broke their opponents five times to pocket the match.<\/p>\n

Sania and Vesnina had poor percentage of first serve, 52 percent, but amazingly won 19 out of 25 points on it.<\/p>\n

The Indo-Russian team also brushed off five out of six breakpoints they faced and converted five out of nine break opportunities to their advantage.<\/p>\n

They will square off against the third seeded Czechs, Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka, in the next round.<\/p>\n

The Czechs eased past the fifth seeded Italian duo of Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci in straight sets.<\/p>\n
