Sania targets 2nd round at Roland Garros


Apprehensive that her recurring ankle injury could land her on the surgery table, Indian tennis sensation Sania Mirza is taking no chances ahead of next month's French Open where her initial target is to cross the first round hurdle.

With the tennis extravaganza at the Roland Garros set to begin on May 23, the teenager said she had not set any big goals for the Grand Slam event and was rather looking to cross the first round.

"I will try my best. I don't think that I will win the championship. My priority is to win the first round. There is a lot of expectations, and pressure too," Sania, who won her first WTA title in Hyderabad two months back, told reporters here Saturday.
