Melbourne: Indian Tennis star Sania Mirza made a winning return to the French Open on Monday.
The 24-year-old world number 72 easily beat Kristina Barrois of Germany by 6-3, 6-3 in the first round to set up an encounter with either Polish 12th seed Agnieszka Radwanska or Patricia Mayr-Achleitner of Austria.
Having climbed as high as 27 in the women’s world rankings, Mirza’s injury-enforced absence saw her slip to 166th by the end of 2010. Now moving in the right direction again and improving her ranking.
