On Wednesday, Italian Flavia Pennetta whitewashed 22-year-old Sania Mirza as she powered to 6-0, 6-0 win in the second round of the US Open. After losing Mirza said that she still had the doubles and the mixed doubles to contest in New York.

Pennetta, the first Italian woman to reach the world's top 10, did not give a chance to Mirza. She raced to victory in just 50 minutes to set up a second-round clash with French 17th seed Amelie Mauresmo or Aleksandra Wozniak of Canada.

 
"If she plays like that she is going to win the Open," Mirza told reporters following the 50-minute, second-round blowout at Louis Armstrong Stadium.
 

"I was not thinking, 'I am playing such horrible tennis.' She had an answer for everything. That's something you just have to deal with and move on. Tomorrow's a new day," Mirza stated.
 
Sania Mirza, after a battling performance against Olga Govortsova in the first round said that she was fit and ready for the match in the second round. But losing the first set in 22 minutes and the second in 28 minutes, it can be witnessed that Mirza's fightback attitude never came. It was like a no contest clash between the the two giving Pennetta a chance to take a 2-0 lead. In th entire match Mirza managed to win only 21 points.
 
Before Wednesday's match Mirza and Pennetta had met five times in which the Italian had finished on top on three occasions.
 
Pennetta grabbed the title in Los Angeleslast month and had been enjoying success in a continuous fashion, while Sania Mirza had been playing on the ITF circuit, a level below the main tour.
 
After being whitewashed in the second round, Mirza said that she still had the doubles and the mixed doubles to contest in New York and was confident she and her Canadian partner Daniel Nestor could do well in the latter.
 
"After that I will play in Asia and just try to stay healthy for the rest of the year for once," she added.
