Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza crashed out of French Open women's singles event after losing in straight sets to Kazakhstan's Galina Voskoboeva in Roland Garros on Tuesday. Sania went down 4-6 6-7 (3) in a contest lasting a little over an hour and a half.

Sania's failure to convert any of the four break points that she earned only added to her problems.
Voskoboeva converted a crucial break in the seventh game to clinch the first set in 46 minutes.Sania put up a slightly better show in the second set and cut down on her double faults but 14 unforced errors pulled her back.After losing her serve twice, Sania broke back to take the set into a tie-breaker.
