Bad wrist ruins Sania Mirza's outing at Miami Masters
Just when it seemed Sania Mirza was back on track to zoom up the rankings, the tennis ace has been laid low by a chronic wrist injury.
Mirza, 21, withdrew from the $3.7 million Sony Ericsson Open in Miami on Wednesday after being troubled by a wrist injury she sustained at the Pacific Life Open in Indian Wells last week.
The Hyderabadi player, seeded 29th in the second Masters tournament of the year, had been handed a bye in the first round with a potential showdown against nemesis Anna Chakvetadze of Russia in the third round.
Mirza's pullout was an opportune one for lucky loser Mariya Koryttseva of Ukraine who won her place in the main draw.
