Sania Mirza’s quest for her second WTA singles title continued after the Indian ace went down fighting 5-7, 1-6 against world No 5 and top seed Vera Zvonareva in the final of the $220,000 Pattaya Open in Thailand on Sunday.

Sania fought her heart out against her formidable opponent but the Russian drew from her vast experience to halt the India’s brilliant run in the one hour and 17 minutes contest.
