Sania in mixed doubles semi-final

The second seeds won the contest in the tie-breaker with a 6-1, 3-6, 10-6 on Court 2. 

From the beginning, Sania and her Croatian partner were able to get into their stride and pocketed the first game quite easily against the Chinese Taipei-Belarusian pair. 

They then broke their opponents to move ahead 2-0 in the first set. And though Chan and Mirnyi tried catching up, the Indo-Croatian pair remained ahead. 

Before long it was 5-0 and Sania-Ivan ensured there were no hiccups as they pocketed the opening set 6-1. Jan-Max scripted a turnaround in the second set. The Chinese Taipei-Belarusian pair rallied back into the contest by pocketing three back to back games to march to a 4-1 lead. Sania-Ivan broke back to reduce the margin to 3-5 but Jan-Max sealed the set by winning their service game to stretch the match into a deciding tie-breaker.
