Beijing Olympics 2008
Sania gets tough draw in singles

Sania Mirza received a tough draw in the singles competition at the Olympics. She will be facing her Czech nemesis Iveta Benesova in the first round and even if she clears this hurdle, greater danger awaits the Indian in the second round where former world number one Venus Williams is likely to cross swords with her.
Benesova leads the Indian ace 3-0 in previous meetings and going by the recent poor form since returning from injury, it only seems obvious that she won’t be making it to the next round here either. Even if she does, she will be out in the second round as her pale serve won’t be able to stand the might of the Wimbledon champion.
The men’s doubles pair of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi, however, got a better deal with the ‘Indian Express’ duo kicking off their campaign against French pair of Gael Monfils and Gilles Simons on Sunday.
