Sania Mirza
Sania Mirza, the ace Indian woman tennis player, is a beautiful person with a beautiful heart. At this very young age, she has already achieved what no other Indian women had been able to achieve in their entire careers in any sport. So, she deserves a big clap from all Indians. But unfortunately, she has not been able to maintain her progress in the international rankings. At one time not so long ago, it was highly expected that she would soon break into the top ten players of the world. Some reports even suggested that she has the potential to win a grand slam event. Although she is still in the top 50 players of the world, it looks highly unlikely to me that she will ever be able to reach top 10 stage. As far as I am concerned, I feel that her decline has already started. She had a very bad last year or so from the fitness point of view. Although she has good groundstrokes and is a good baseline player, her weakest link is her service. It is her service, which has not allowed her to be a part of the top 10 or 20. Her service is so weak that she can very easily make a world record in the number of double faults in a player’s career. I am not a critic of Sania Mirza. In fact I really am proud of her and am a fan of her, but fact is that she has already played her best tennis. My apologies to her fans. I must say that she did a wonderful thing by giving these Indian Cricketers some sleepless nights by doing so many ads. This little girl from Hydrabad has shown that what girls can do if they want. Maybe India needs many more Sania Mirzas.
