Sania Mirza out of French Open

NDTV: "India's tennis sensation Sania Mirza has lost out on her French Open campaign, falling to Argentina's Gisela Dulko in straight sets in the first round. Sania who is the first Indian woman to get a direct entry into a Grand Slam faced a tough task as the 30th seeded Dulko is considered to be a clay court specialist.

The 18-year-old who made a comeback last week after over a month off due to injury could not put up a fight against her Argentine opponent, conceding the match 3-6,3-6. The former junior Wimbledon doubles champion will also be competing in the doubles event and will partner Russia's Anna Chakvetadze.

The duo will face the pair of Kristina Brandi of Puerto Rico and Japan's Nana Miyagi in the first round. "
