Sania retires from 1st round of Beijing Olympics
[Tue Aug 12, 2008]

Wrist injury forced Sania to retire from first round of singles at Beijing Olympics. When she retired from the game, she was trailing 1-6 1-2 to Czech opponent Iveta Benesova. The match ended in 46 minutes. Sania and Benesova had met three times before where Benesova never lost a match. When Sania decided to retire, Benesova came forward for a few words of consolation but Sania could not hold back her tears. She left the court with tearful eyes.

After the match, team coach Nandan Bal said, "She had a surgery on her right wrist and it was bothering her right from the beginning. She was covering the court well and keeping the ball in play too. But things subsequently became too painful and she had to retire."

Sania's doubles campaign is also doubtful due to the injury.
