Despite suffering jet lag from a 14 hour flight from India Martina Hingis still managed to defeat qualifier Caroline Wozniacki from Denmark in 2 sets 6/3 6/2. In another impressive display of finesse and all court play. And even though she was broken in the last 2 service games she had no problems finishing it off in 67 minutes.
Next up is a re-match with Sania Mirza who Hingis just won against in India. One thing working in Hingis's favour is the slow court surface. I think Sania will be a little tougher to beat here, now that she feels no pressure from her home country. But I think Martina can still beat her. Either way it should be an interesting match. I just wish I could actually watch it.
