Sania all set for Sunfeast Open …

High on confidence after a successful US hard court season, Sania Mirza says she is keen to prove herself in front of home fans in the upcoming Sunfeast Open.

Sania said her improved fitness was a key factor in her recent success and that she was eager to give her best at the $ 170,000 WTA Tour event without any fear of "winning or losing".

"Right now, I am focusing on my fitness and I will be happy if I continue the same level of fitness in the Sunfeast Open. Winning or losing doesn't matter to me," she said.

Sania said her five wins against top-20 players and getting the better of former world number one Martina Hingis were her best moments during the remarkable run in the US.

"One of the most satisfying things has been defeating Hingis. Winning against the top-20 players has been a high point as well," Sania said on her return from the US.

The 20-year-old Indian had a stupendous two-month sojourn, rising to 26th in world rankings as she reached the semifinals in Cincinnati and her maiden final of a $ 600,000 event in Stanford.

"It has been a fabulous hard court tour for me. I am happy with the progress I have made. It feels great to be in the top-30," the Hyderabadi girl said.

Asked what was her next target, Sania said, "I am taking it as it comes." On hiring a full-time coach, Sania said she was gaining a lot from the present arrangement of former men's player Gabriel Urpi advising her during important events while her father Imran Mirza donned the role of the coach
