India makes a great begin as tennis makes introduction at CWG

India put up a main show on the debut day of tennis at the Common wealth Games as all three singles players recorded simple wins and star pair of Leander Paes and Sania Mirza also began their quest for gold by storming into the quarterfinals of the mixed doubles.

Top seeds Leander and Sania rounded of the day for India in superb fashion as they trampled the poor St Lucia combination of Stacey Nykita Roheman and Alberton Richelieu 6-1 6-0 in just 39 minutes.

Before that Rohan Bopanna, Rushmi Chakravarthi and Poojashree Venkatesh scored dominant victories in the singles against their weak opponents.

The only blot on India's otherwise perfect day was 3-6 6-3 3-6 beat Bopanna and Nirupama Sanjeev against the top seeded Australian pair of Paul Hanley and Anastasia Rodionova in the mixed doubles first round.
