Sania Mirza failed to break the second round jinx at the French Open as she crashed out of the tournament with a straight set defeat against Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland in the women’s singles event on Thursday.

The Indian lost 2-6, 4-6 to 12th-seeded Radwanska in a one hour and 16 minute contest at the Roland Garros. It was always going to be tough for Sania as she committed 42 unforced errors as compared to her opponent’s 18. Sania though hit more winners than Radwanska.

The Polish player completely dominated the proceeding to run away with the first set 6-2. In the second set, Sania lifted herself but Radwanska proved to be too strong for her.
