Experienced duo Sania and Rohan beat Ankita and Ramanathan 6-2, 7-6(5) in just over an hour on Court 8. Sania, 34, and Bopanna, 41, were always in control in the first set but faced some resistance in the second.
"My only regret is being a tennis player in the nation that loves cricket. Being a mother has made me realise I have selfless love in me. It made me a better person," Sania said.
