Today, we need to concentrate on Unforced Error. An Unforced Error is when the player has time to prepare and position himself or herself to get the ball back in play and makes an error. This is a shot that the player would normally get back into play. The real keys here are time and position.
Sania Mirza had neither the time nor got into position today in her second round match in US Open against the Italian No.10 seed Flavia Pennetta and ended up committing 28 unforced errors that forced Sania Mirza out of the US Open Singles campaign. The match ended as it started as Pennetta blew away the Indian Star out of the court in straight sets with the final result that read 6-0, 6-0. Flavia Pennetta completely destroyed Sania Mirza during the less-than-an-hour domination that belonged entirely to the Italian.
Those Sania fans who couldn’t arrive at the stadium to cheer their star for whatever reasons didn’t miss much. They sure would have regretted for having made it instead. The match got over in just 50 minutes and they would have hated to see their star getting beaten like this.
For a newbie watching tennis, this match sure would have looked like a practice session for Flavia Pennetta. There was nothing positive that Sania Mirza could take home from this match. The only positive she could possibly look at is “how not to play like this match” in her future matches. Flavia gave Sania a good tennis lesson. She reminded Sania how to play those famous forehand winners, passing shots and those perfect volleys that once made Sania Mirza a sensational tennis star in India years ago.
It was never a vendetta for Pennetta as this match was completely one-sided and a cake walk for the Italian player. She now moves on to the 3rd round as Sania Mirza looks forward to her doubles and mixed doubles matches. The sooner Sania Mirza forgets this match, the better it is for her matches in other categories. By the way, is there anything worthwhile for Sania Mirza to remember anything about this match?
