Story of Sania Mirza | Indian Tennis Icon 

Saddest thing is in our country, she was not appreciated as much she deserved. She was one of the greatest women sporting icon after PT Usha.

OK

@Andhrudu what is the reason?

@Andhrudu Her husband

The women tennis skirt is the main reason why India lags behind others.... very weird ndian culture esp against women

I hope youre every dream come true.

There's no shame in dominating in doubles. Doubles and singles are a different type of game.... One can be awesome at singles but average at doubles..... Sania is naturally awesome at doubles...

Her forehand kept her in it, but serve, fitness & agility needed work.

@@clarion7018 Her volleying at the net also is great..Doubles requires less fitness bc one covers less court area....I think she is awesome..

@Carlo Al: She was a very capable player (what a forehand she had). She broke into top 40 in just a year (from 2004-05). I remember I was only 6 yrs old that time (3rd rnd at the aussie open) and the country was driven crazy. Everyone thought she would keep improving and give india a grand slam trophy (singles). But her fitness and serve let are down. I agree with Carlo on this. But staying in India she got all the facilities too but she didn't envision or desire to give the extra yard. That's the biggest problem I have with her. Think of Leander Paes too (he won the wimbledon boys title and spent his time behind Navratilova). He was so engrossed in doubles he destroyed his singles career (could have made india a tennis superpower by now had these two delivered).

Ghanta pride.. She stays in Dubai..

😆😆

Her name is Sania

@@purplepurrer santina is sania and martina's team name

@@manasvichervela9788 Ah that makes sense!! Oops sorry!

India is notorious for human rights issues let alone having a butcher as head of a country.... the Butcher of Gujarat.

She will retire after Wimbledon 2022

Religion ruined her legacy as a tennis icon.... enuf said.

She went into doubles because of a chronic knee injury. She was advised to stop playing tennis altogether. Instead she decided to stop singles and focus on doubles. That was the best decision she made. Later Martin Hingis reached out and asked to pair up. The rest is history.

@@TheKansen Ok. I am biased, sorry. Don't like doubles. Plus Nadal has been battling knee and foot injuries since the start. Stayed in singles. Will check how she got both knees injured. And coaching could have helped with her injuries by altering her playing style. My point is, she didn't have good coaching and that destroys your game.

To be realistic, she would not have become a top singles player with any level of coaching. It was a great decision on her part to focus on doubles.

@@a6hiji7 Why not? Do advise. I think she could have been a top 10 player at least if not grand slam title winner.

@@wozmac771 He is right.She was good but not a top 10 player at all.

The truth

First get there then compare

She represents India.

True

Shame on u, She married A pak guy, so u are hating so much but overlooking how much she have dedicated to the sport and won so many titles. Go read abt her then u shall know that u arent even equal to dust of her feet 😂😂

She married Shoaib Malik who is a Pakistani cricketer.

Pakistani cricketer , Shoaib Akhtar

@@Titicacaberryjuice Shoaib Malik.

Why so salty?

Wimb doubles champ. But the point here is miles better than anybody in the billion sub-continent. Its rather surprising that nobody of quality has been produced.

she once told in an interview that she chose doubles career over singles career because of arthiritis. And she won wimbledon in doubles

She has reached finals of both wd and xd

She reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon 2022. She's still quite good.

She won titles even before hingis and still winning. Where is hingis now?

@@mayuriparab249 Hingis is in top 20 best female tennis players of all time. She is in top 200. She never came below 30 in single rankings, where as Hingis was ranked 1st

She was something, that's why she was good enough to back up hingis
