Great start by Sania.That is significant in many ways. First the media hype has not affected her at all.Secondly,her ankle is good and I am sure will remain good for ever.We can expect some real fire works from her.However, the matches ,now onwards,will become tougher.

All the best Sania.

The said article had the HEADLINE AS under A WORLD CHAMPION ON THE MAKE Richard Krajicek says " He is played really fine tennis.He is really impressive with his on court movement and speed,but most importantly he has superb ability to select proper shot at the crucial time.I hope some day he wi...

After good win in doubles,tough loss for Shikha.But she has proved once again that she can play at this level and beat these girls.Now only Sania is left in the singles.I am sure she will definitely live up to expectations.

Just to add some more interesting results of Karan.As 16 year old he defeated JAMIE DELGADO,who took one set off Aggasi same year at Wimbledon.Karan defeated Sherwood 62,62.This is the same sherwood who was top seed recently on indian circuit and defeated Harsh Mankad.In aus open jr he thrashed Kasi...

Well,I have been searching the net to find some details and now I have the details.So MR GENIUS THIS IS FOR YOU In the year 2000 Karan became the youngest ever Indian boy,at 14,to win ITF under 18 title.He played three consecutive finals and defeated ROHAN GAJJAR ,THEN REIGNING NATIONAL CHAMPION -TW...

I am used to answering this question.I have no direct relation with the great wk,but we are,indeed connected to the same family tree.He wont even know me.

Well,I think this is a very good chance for the association to give our players a platform to groom for the future.There should not be any problem in selecting six players ,as the tie is in Delhi.Ofcourse,only four will be in the final team ,but other two players can be part of the team as reserve.T...
