Sania Mirza and Bethanie Mattek overcame a fighting Russian pair of Elena Vesnina and Vera Zvonareva to book a semifinal berth in the $600,000 WTA East West Bank Classic tournament.
The Indo-American pair, seeded second, pipped the Russian duo 6-3, 1-6, 10-8 in one hour and 14 minutes in the quarter-finals of the Tier II hard court event last night.
The win will come in as a great relief to the Indian tennis sensation as she has been thwarted by injuries and lack of match fitness, losing in the opening or second rounds on a number of occasions this year.
