INDIAN tennis star Sania Mirza and her Tunisian partner Ons Jabeur on Wednesday (18) crashed out of the women's doubles event at the ATP Masters 1000 Western and Southern Cincinnati Open, losing to a Russo-Kazakh pair 5-7, 2-6 in the first round.
In the match, Mirza and Jabeur, the highest-ranked Arab woman player who made the quarter-finals of Wimbledon this year, fired four aces and committed two double faults. They saved two of six breakpoints and could win only 19 of 27 points on first service. Mirza, 34, is currently 160 in doubles.
The opponent duo of Veronika Kudermetova (Russia) and Elena Rybakina (Kazakhstan) unleashed one ace and made a single double fault. They saved five of six breakpoints and won 27 out of 36 points on first service.
India had little luck in the men's event at the tournament as the pair of Rohan Bopanna and Croatian Ivan Dodig lost to Serbian Filip Krajinovic and France's Fabrice Martin 6-1, 4-6, 7-10 in the first round.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has shattered records, expanded brackets, and rewritten the script of global football representation.

From the shores of New Zealand to the deserts of Qatar, and into the roaring stadiums of North America, players carrying ancestral roots from Pakistan, Punjab, Kerala, and Tamil heritage are actively wearing national jerseys, logging vital minutes, and asserting their presence at the highest tier of the sport. Far from being mere footnotes, these athletes represent the shifting, multicultural identities of modern international football.
