New Delhi: Sania Mirza stretched herself against fourth seed Lourdes Dominguez Lino of Spain in the rain-interrupted singles second round match at the Forest Hill Women's Tennis Classic tournament in New York.
Sania lost 4-6 7-5 3-6 after resuming the play on Friday at 3-4 in the first set.
Their match was suspended on Thursday after being repeatedly interrupted by the rains in the Center Court.
Sania, clinging on to 44th rank for around a month now, fought back into the match in the second set but ran out of the steam in the decider to Lino, who is just one rank above her in WTA charts.
Sania had defeated American wildcard Alexa Glatch 6-2 6-3 in the opening round of the event, which is being played as the final tune-up for the US Open beginning Monday.
