Sania to team up with Shahar Peer

London: India’s Sania Mirza has agreed to renew her doubles partnership with Israel’s Shahar Peer at Wimbledon. Mirza and Peer are close friends on the Tour and played together at the 2005 Japan Open where they reached the semifinals.

“I always enjoyed playing with Sania,” said Peer. “But she asked if we could stop playing together last year because of pressures. I was pleasantly surprised when she suggested playing together at the French Open last month, but I had already promised to partner Dinara Safina. I’m really pleased to be with her again,” she said. — AFP
