India to meet USA
Perth: The Indian team of Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna begins its Hopman Cup campaign against former champion and second seed United States in the 20th edition of the prestigious mixed team event which begins here on Saturday.
While Sania is pitted against Meghann Shaugnessy, Bopanna takes on Mardy Fish in their singles ties before the mixed doubles match.
Fish is ranked 39 compared to Bopanna’s 267. The two haven’t met before.
Sania, however, got a better deal after her original opponent, Australian Open champion Serena Williams, was replaced by Shaugnessy.
Shaugnessy is 21 rungs below Sania at 52 on the WTA charts but she has beaten the Indian twice in their three meetings.
“We have a very tough draw, having been pitted with the USA, Australia and Czech Republic. But, Rohan and I are ready to give it our best shot,” Sania said.
The Indian team, seeded seventh, has been given a direct entry. — PTI
