India's Sania Mirza was outplayed by Germany's Sabine Lisicki 3-6, 0-6 to crash out of women's singles first round of the Texas Tennis Open here on Monday.
Playing in hot conditions, the 23rd-ranked German needed only an hour and five minutes go past Sania.
Before this match, the two were 1-1 head-to-head with Lisicki beating Sania in Auckland in March and the Indian returning the favour with a win at Charleston in April.
