There was no stopping the sixth-seed Indians after they took the first-set lead and then it proved just a stroll in the park. They will next face the winner of the other third round match between 15th seed Andy Ram and Meghann Shaughnessy and unseeded pair of Paul Hanley and Su-Wei Hsieh.
Sania has also reached the women's doubles semifinals along with Russian partner Elena Vesnina. She though made a first round exit from the singles as she played through pain in her left knee.
