Sania and Maria
An Indian tennis player in a Grand slam third round... Everyone is excused if they think they are day dreaming but it has finally happend. Sania Mirza has made it. I think this has to be the best showing by an Indian in a Grand Slam tournament since Vijay Amritraj reached the last eight of Wimbledon some twenty five years back.
Sania will be facing Serena Williams and I don't give her much of a shot to get into the round of 16 but it is nevertheless a great start to her career. I hope she climbs the ladders and makes India proud....
I watched Maria Sharapova last night. She lost the first set but came back strongly against the "never say die" Lindsey Lee Waters. Maria and Lindsay really otudid each other, not only with their groundstrokes but also some loud grunting. Hasn't women's tennis chnaged over the last 10 years? In those days, a frenchwoman named Nathalie Tauziat complained against Monica Seles's grunting but today grunting in womens tennis is as common as short clothes.
