Mirza upsets Peer at Acura
August 1, 2007
CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) -- Sania Mirza used pressure at the net in the third
set to pull off a 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 upset of No. 12 seed Shahar Peer on Tuesday
in the Acura Classic.
Mirza, a finalist at Stanford on Sunday, beat her doubles partner by going to
the net more often than usual in the final set, trying to shorten rallies.
The strategy paid off for Mirza, who said she was tired from playing all week
at the Bank of the West Classic.
"I really didn't want to spend so much time on the court," said Mirza, who
lost in straights sets at Stanford to Anna Chakvetadze. "We all know that
(Peer) is one of the best on the tour at running down shots. If I keep
hitting and ripping from behind the baseline, she's going to keep tracking
down balls."
Mirza instead decided uncharacteristically to come to the net in the third
set against her Israeli opponent. It worked as Mirza jumped out to a 4-1
lead.
Mirza, who equaled her career-high ranking of No. 31 this week after her
runner-up finish at Stanford, broke Peer's serve nine times.
"I'm happy because it was a very tough first-round match," Mirza said. "But
we both are not happy because we are friends, and it's hard to play a friend."
