DOHA, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) -- Second seed Zheng Jie from China beat fourth seed Sania Mirza of India in full sets to claim the women's singles title at the Asian Games tennis tournament here on Wednesday.

    Mirza, who took a bronze medal at 2002 Busan Games, had another chance to bid for the gold medal at the Asian Games tennis tournament in the mixed doubles event, together with Leander Paes later Wednesday afternoon.
