Mirza has done well in Slams before but she had a weak season in 2010.
Sania Mirza, a celebrity sensation in India, advanced through three rounds of qualifying at the 2011 Australian Open and she is back into the main draw at Melbourne Park. Mirza, who married in 2010, did not have a good season last year and her ranking is currently way out at 145th.
Where exactly Mirza will fall in the women's singles draw is not yet known, however she might end up with a winnable first round match.
Mirza is still just 24 years old and there is time for her to turn her tennis career back on. Making the third round would see her take a significant step toward getting back into the top 100 and, if she stays consistent, she might be able to avoid qualifiers in Grand Slams the rest of the season.
The 2011 Australian Open main draw starts on January 17th and it is scheduled to conclude, for the women, on January 29th with the men taking another day.
