Sania said it would be at least a couple of months before she found her touch as she had made a few changes to her game while training under Tony Roche.

"It will take me a few months for sure in match pressure situations before I expect to be confident with what I am trying to execute. But for a start -- pretty good," Sania said.

World number one Roger Federer and in the women's game Lindsay Davenport were named top seeds.
