STANFORD, CA: Sania Mirza stumbled at the final hurdle as she was tamed by top-seed Anna Chakvetadze of Russia in the title clash of the $ 600,000 West Bank Classic WTA event here.
Sania, who had tasted defeat at the hands of the Russian in the Cincinnati semifinals last week, once again surrendered to the might of Chakvetadze, who notched up a convincing 6-3 6-2 victory for her second title in as many weeks.
However, some consolation in store for Sania who combined with Shahar Peer of Israel to grab the doubles crown. In the final, the Indo-Israeli pair defeated Victoria Azarenka of Belarus and Chakvetadze 6-4, 7-6 (5).
