Egyptian junior Sandra Samir admits she?s inspired by the success of Swiss teenager Belinda Bencic on the women?s tour and hopes to be in her shoes next year. Samir, ranked 17 in the world junior rankings, was the only Arab playing in any main draw in Paris this fortnight but suffered a double blow on Monday by falling in her opening rounds in both singles and doubles. The 16-year-old, who reached the final of the prestigious Eddie Herr Championships last December, is yet to fully recover from a lower back injury and will undergo scans on Tuesday to see if she can resume her heavy schedule which includes appearances at Wimbledon, the Youth Olympics in Nanjing and the US Open.
