We have to keep our emotions aside and start afresh: Sania

By The Assam Tribune

RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 13: One win away from assuring themselves of an Olympic medal, Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna today said they would have to keep their emotions aside and start afresh when they play the semifinals here tomorrow.

In their bid to win a maiden Olympic medal, Sania and Bopanna dominated the proceedings against the British star duo of Andy Murray and Heather Watson and registered a 6-4, 6-4 win in the mixed doubles quarterfinal at Tennis Centre in Barra. �We played two amazing champions today and we look forward to playing champions, whoever it is, tomorrow,� Sania said. �Yes we are confident after beating Andy, but in the end we have to forget the emotion what happened and give our best again by staying fresh.�

The Indian duo will face the winners of Venus Williams and Ram Rajeev of the US versus Italian pair of Roberta Vinci and Fabio Fognini in the semis tomorrow. � PTI
