Sania Mirza suffered a shock defeat at the hands of 110th ranked French player Camille Pin in the second round of Bangalore Open 6-1, 5-7, 2-6.
In the first set everything appeared to go Sania Mirza's way, but she lost the rhythm in the second set and allowed Camille pin to overpower the tournaments favorite.
Further to a wrong line call that went against Sania Mirza, her elbow alsos gave some trouble, as she was attended twice in the match.
A power packed attcking tennis player Sania Mirza find it difficult to sustain the style of play - lobbing, slicing and back shots - which was not her style at all.
"It was a different kind of a match. She did what she had to, to win. There was nothing much I could do when someone plays like that, I tried lobbing back on a couple of occasions but that's not how I play," said Sania Mirza.
Further Sania Mirza added "It takes practice to learn to play against such players. Her shots had no pace, and when you have so much time to hit, it's more difficult. I guess I have to learn to adapt."
About the poor serves today due to the elobw, Sania Mirza said "my elbow was hurting each time I served, so I'm not so disappointed with my serve."
Pin, who did nothing special to win other than lob said, "Sania is good at offence, I'm good at defence. The shots that I hit are not my natural style of playing, but I had to do something different after the first set. I also cut down on my mistakes, because I don't hit that many winners."
