SANIA MANIA!!!

People say Sania has brought a refreshment and attention to the world of Indian Tennis. I would say ‘IT WAS TRUE’.

Sania did shine by becoming the first Indian women to reach the 4th round of US open, reaching the top 30 in world rankings etc. For kids in India, Sania is their role model. But, if you have been observing her game for the past one or two years, it is obvious that she has failed to improve herself.

Also, the media is not doing justice to the other Tennis stars (and other players too) by giving undue attention to her. I feel that Sania doesnt completely deserve such HYPE. In a press conference athlete P.T. Usha said, “Sania is not receiving such attention JUST for her game” True… For instance, players like Saina nehwal, Joshna chinnappa, Prakash Amirtaraj or Anju Bobby George etc have also acheived in their respective fields, but seldom do you get to read some article on them. Media should stop giving excessive HYPE to Sania Mirza, lest she blames the media for her poor performance too! (It will happen in the near future)

I am sick of hearing or reading Sania’s post-match / pre-match comments. If you have read or heard some of these, you would get irritated for sure. It would go like this:

“I had a broken arm/wrist/ blah blah blah… It is a great miracle (!) that I am standing in front of you and playing. I would be more than astonished if I win this game/ for winning this game. Though my body doesnt co-operate, my spirits are in high energy…”

I do understand that she is injury-prone. But, it is not at all fair to blame your health for each and every defeat. I would say, if she is so not well, let her take a break from tennis for 6 months or one year or till she completely recovers from all this injury crap.

Also, fitness is vital for any sport and it is her responsibility to keep herself fit.

Note: If you had got a chance to see Sania’s games in Wimbledon, you would have noticed her SERVE. Unless Sania works on her fitness, SERVE and Unforced errors, she cannot achieve more. All that she could do is that, blame her health or tennis racket or media or the fans or even the stars for her failure…

Now, the latest comedy is that SANIA IS KEEN TO WIN A GOLD IN THE OLYMPICS. Though, my heart wants her to win, my head says that, it is not even possible in her wildest dreams. It is obvious that, after her loss, she ll blame either her fitness or the people of INDIA (for having high expectations on her!!!)

PS: If you had correctly spotted that the picture I had added conveys that she is facing a downfall now, KUDOS to you…
