Sania Mirza sizzled for a while before running out of steam as Ukrainian Alona Bondarenko tamed the Indian in the second round of the USD 600,000 Pilot Pen tennis tournament at New Haven, USA.
Sania's show yo-yoed during the match that lasted about one and half hours and the Indian, who did not drop a single game in the second set, eventually crashed out with a 3-6, 6-0, 3-6 defeat.
