India minus Sania go down against Indonesia

I am tied up throughout the day in some or the other chore. Life in The States isn't easy at all. There is no time for me to watch even sports so I have to settle with the sports coverage on NDTV 24x7 - India's best news channel available in the US.

I saw the coverage about India's decision to rest star player Sania Mirza in the opening match itself against Indonesia backfired as they lost 1-2 in the Asia/Oceania Zone Group 1 Federation Cup tournament on Wednesday.

The Indians badly missed Sania's firebrand tennis as other team members Shikha Uberoi and Sunitha Rao were found lacking at crucial junctures.

Although Shikha gave a positive start and 1-0 lead to India by winning the first singles match by defeating Ayu Fani Damayanti 6-4 6-4, Sunitha could not keep the momentum going.
