Rory McIlroy was left frustrated after failing to capitalise on a fast start to the third round of the DP Word Tour Championship in Dubai. The world No 2 briefly moved to within four strokes of the lead after birdieing four of his first 10 holes at Jumeirah Golf Estates, only to miss a series of chances after the turn and card a four-under 68.Last years Race to Dubai champion followed three gains on the front nine by picking up a shot at the 10th, but failed to make further inroads along the back nine. McIlroys only other birdie came at the par-five 15th, before he bogeyed the last after firing his approach in to the creek running the length of the hole. McIlroy mixed five birdies with a sole blemish I think I turned a 62 in to a 68 somehow, it was just one of those days, McIlroy told Sky Sports. I hit a lot of good shots but didnt hole many putts.(I hit) a great drive, second shot had 207 (yards) to the pin into the wind. Maybe just was a little too aggressive with it and pulled it slightly and just got punished for a bad shot.

Sania Mirza is unperturbed at the prospect of losing her number one individual doubles ranking as she prepares to begin her campaign at the WTA Finals in Singapore. Mirza, who has been ranked number one for 80 weeks, a stretch extending back to April 2015, can be displaced if she fails to win the event. Three players - top seeds Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic besides Bethanie Mattek-Sands, who is paired with Lucie Safarova - can potentially overtake her at the end of the tournament.Nobody remains number one forever, Mirza told ESPN from Singapore. When I got to number one last year in April it was huge, it was a dream come true and honestly I didnt really think I would stay there for 80 weeks. It has been an amazing journey to be at the top for this long. But even if I lose the number one ranking, thats not going to change anything. I will just be inspired to come back and work harder because I try and win every tournament that I play, thats how I have looked at my whole career. I dont look at the numbers, I think they just take care of themselves.Ready or not - here we come ???????? @WTA @mhingis #SanTina pic.twitter.com/6sRrna02BG- Sania Mirza (@MirzaSania) 25 October 2016Mirza will be rejoining forces with Martina Hingis in Singapore after having split with her following an early exit at Montreal in July. The pair had already assured themselves of a spot in this elite field of eight teams by continuing their sparkling run from 2015 into the early phase of this year. They won their first four tournaments of the year including the Australian Open, their third consecutive Grand Slam title. However, once their streak of 41-straight match wins - the third best run in the history of womens doubles - was ended in Doha in February, the pairing endured a slump of sorts.Team SanTina, as they came to be called, won only one of their next ten tournaments and took the decision to part ways. Mirza teamed up with Barbora Strycova and has enjoyed an upswing in fortunes towards the latter half of the season, collecting titles in Cincinnati and Tokyo besides another one with Romanian Monica Niculescu in New Haven. However, Mirza insists combining forces once again with Hingis hasnt been awkward or difficult in any way.dddddddddddde got here a few days earlier deliberately because we wanted to practice and feel that chemistry again and it has been really good, she said. We have been practicing together and its been going really well. We are looking forward to playing together, the chemistry doesnt really go anywhere, if you have it you just have it.Mirza and Hingis will start the tournament as defending champions, having scorched the field last year on their way to the crown. Mirza, in fact, won the season ending championships, regarded as the biggest tournament on the circuit outside of the four Grand Slams, in 2014 as well, with Zimbabwes Cara Black. Like the previous couple of years, she expects support from the large Indian diaspora in Singapore, though Mirza says playing conditions this time around are slightly different.This year the court seems slightly slower and the ball is bouncing quite low, she said. The last couple of years too it was slow but it was bouncing a bit more. But being indoors there is no wind to deal with and it isnt too hot or too cold. I like playing indoors.Unlike the singles that is played in a round-robin format with the eight players divided into groups of four, the doubles draw is a knockout competition. Mirza and Hingis open up against the Chan sisters from Taipei, a team Mirza describes as very tough, having encountered them several times over her career. She insists however that the prospect of a hat-trick of titles in Singapore isnt burdening her with any additional pressure.You are going to win matches and you are going to lose, she says. I like playing in Singapore, I have had such good results here. The format is different to last year so the margin of error is obviously lesser. This is the best of the best, literally if you look at the draw any team can win the tournament. Thats good for tennis, but every match is going to be tough.It has been an amazing year, I cant ask for a better year. I won a Grand Slam, won eight tournaments and I am back at the WTA finals and I have been number one all year. Eight tournaments is a lot by any standards. ' ' '
