ATP/WTA tour
Sania Mirza paired up with Ons Jabeur in the Cincinnati Masters, making it a historic pairing of sorts, but the duo went down in the opening round. Playing with Ivan Dodig, Rohan Bopanna had a early exit as well in Cincinnati Masters.
Ankita played doubles at WTA 125 at Chicago and had a nice upset of second seeds in first round but lost in QF.
