Bhupati admits that Sania was used without being consulted.

Sania was used without even being consulted: Bhupathi

From his tone it is clear he is not expecting to be paired with Sania in mixed doubles.

Has anybody calculated the possible mixed doubles teams? I saw one calculation here: http://totallympics.com/forum.php?mod=redirect&goto=findpost&ptid=135&pid=105815&fromuid=2120 If the Indian pair is Paes/Mirza then they would in top ten. Bhupati/Mirza gets marginal esp. if Czechs f...

I applaud Sania's courage to stand up to those bullies and misbehaving "stalwarts". We need more people like her. She is one of kind tennis player from India. We should be so proud of her. No other women's tennis player from India has even come remotely close to her achievements.

MxD draw is showing Sania-Mahesh in Semis. Did they get a walkover?

Ideally after playing so heavy for the two weeks I would have like her to take a break this week then play next two weeks at LA and Montreal, then take a break again for a week and compete in the US open.

Anybody following the match right now? seems a good start

Just wanted to let everyone know Shikha is in doubles final in Auckland. Nobody seems to notice this. All the best to Shikha - fire up and win the title. We are proud of you.

There are no semifinals!!!! There is just a final. You have to be a group winner to be in the finals. The only way is to beat Spain. otherwise: If India loses to Spain then India and Spain will end up with 2-1 team wins but Spain will edge past as it beat India.

She should drop out of doubles ...with all the scheduling problems there is no point in overexerting herself. she has already played for 3 hrs today.

Has anybody calculated what Sania's ranking is going to be tomorrow?

If you compare how players in top twenty fared in their first year at the grand slams, very very few players can match Sania's performance. Serena and Venus come to mind. I was so irritated by Sania's lack of consistency, that I pompously said she has to do lot more to be a top twenty player. I eat ...

Matthew Cronin's Picks: Day 5 at usopen.org ...How very true!!!! SANIA MIRZA (IND) vs. MARION BARTOLI (FRA) Two of the tour's more fiery brunettes face off here, with Indian teen sensation Mirza going up against the young Frenchwoman Bartoli, a Monica Seles-style player with a take-no-prisoners atti...

I watched a bit of the match today. I think Sania's biggest asset is right above her shoulder. I think she is so much mentally prepared to take on a fight. It is simply amazing. I like the way she dictates the play. I hope she take initiative against Sharapova/Schruff. We do not want her to see comi...

There is nothing to lose by not playing a tournament, be it a grand slam. But there is lot to loose by aggravating an injury. I don't care what form Sania is in, if she is uncomfortable due to an injury, its better to stay at home rather than risk more than is asked for. But I guess, each to his/her...

on the US open website: Mashona Washington (USA) vs. Sania Mirza (IND) One of the great stories of the year on the women's tour is Sania Mirza, who became a national hero after winning the Hyderabad tournament in her native India. The American Washington (16-19 on the year) is an extremely hard work...
