Sania, Bopanna seal semifinal spot in Rio Olympics

Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna subdued Britain’s Andy Murray and Heather Watson with remarkable ease to breeze into the mixed doubles semifinals at the Rio Olympic Games here on Friday.

The fourth seeded Indian pair dominated the quarterfinal contest, winning 6-4, 6-4 in just 67 minutes.

One more victory will ensure India a silver medal and a defeat in the semifinals would give Sania and Bopanna a chance to fight for the bronze.
