As if, if she played she would have won it. I don’t care what you guys feel about her, but for me she is the biggest disappointment of Indian Sports, even more than our Hockey Team. Never has she won a major tournament, never has she qualified for even a grand slam quarter-final and yet she walks with an air of confidence normally associated with ace tennis players of the world. She has never gone beyond the 25th rank and yet we keep hailing her. So much training with the best coaches in the world, so much devotion of time but no results. Ba**s, she is a star!

But despite not winning any major tournament Sania has managed to make sure that an INDIAN is a part of French Open. She tries her best and one shouldn’t blame if she doesn’t win. Atleast she is far better than hundreds of women who are Indians but fail to represent the nation in any of the sports.

Enough of that Indian in a French open! it sounded good when she started off five years back, but now it is case of an Indian being Mauled at a french open. The amount of money spent on her training is huge and she incidentally has a long-list of highly rated pros who train her, but all to our disappointment. Forget winning a major, she doesn’t even manage to win other low-ranked WTA tournaments. She is good enough to endorse a few stupid brands and that is it.

Sania ’playing’ in the French Open would be news to me. She has perhaps pulled out of tournaments more frequently than playing in them. I still believe she is the best thing to have happened to Women’s tennis in India. However, if she ever desires to be a legend, she needs to show some gall in participating and atleast reaching the finals of any major tournament. That’s the only way she can justify the Padma Shri bestowed upon her.

I don’t know people ( even the Media) are too much obsessed to keep Sania in news. She has decided to pull out from Franch open just because of injury. Is it a major news for media to take a hectic round of debates?

Sania Mirza has become an obsession with the media nowadays as Bhagaban has pointed out in his comment. I can find a definite answer to the question raised at the end of the comment, in his very first lines itself. Thanks, Atul and Alpheus for your critical acclaim. But i really can’t understand if it really doesn’t make any difference whether she plays in French Open or not? She is representing India, so there should be at least a little concern associated with the living obsession of modern Indian sports.

Desh, I believe tennis is among the very games where the individual takes all the credit and the country he/she represents gets none. I’m sure people who don’t follow tennis regularly wud remember Federer, Nadal and Henin, but wud have the least idea about their origin. And for us, it has always been a case of borrowed glory. Although people like her game, very few would consider her a representative of the country. Legends like Lee/Hesh, though, were in a different league. That’s precisely what separates a patriot like Leander from a tennis professional like Sania.
