Sania Mirza :
Eighteen-year-old Sania Mirza has
a way with numbers. It started with 166. Then flipped around,
and lost a digit to 99 - a figure she’s pretty pleasant
with, incidentally. After all, it’s quite sometihng to
be placed within the top 100 in international women’s
tennis. The event becomes more momentous when the leap is made
within
a month. The first Indian woman to have reached the third round
of a tennis grand slam, Mirza strutted her stuff in the games
she played against top seed, Serena Williams, in the Austrilian
Open, in January 2005. And although she didn’t get the
better of that match, she rounded up the trophies at the Women’s
Tennis Association (WTA) Hyderabad Open. She may just
be the first Indian supernova. |
