Hobart, January 9: Sania Mirza crashed out of the USD 1,70,000 Moorilla Hobart International with a heart-breaking quarterfinal loss to Italian Flavia Pennetta in Hobart on Wednesday.

The sixth seeded Indian went down 5-7 6-1 3-6 to Pennetta in the Tier IV hard court event.

Sania wasted seven of the 12 break points she got against the Italian, who later admitted that her job was made easier by the Indian's poor form.

"It was not a very good match for the people to watch," Pennetta said.

The tournament is a warm-up for the season's first grand slam - the Australian Open - starting January 14.
