yes it was the super-tiebreaker after they were 1 set all.

Bhupathi-Hantuchova won 3-6 6-3 7-6

Bhupathi-Hantuchova win the 2nd set 6-3

I guess his comment was not intended in such a manner. We all inadvertently pass such comments.
Take for example - In India, all the troubles that teenagers cuase are blamed on the effect of western culture!

the crowd is even cheering first faults!

Player of the day!

Hats off to Sania in handling the media well.! It is very annoying hearing the same ol' irritating questions put forward.. The bodyguard and Islam thing has been going on for ages now..! Hope such questions end with this match. Such question will keep on coming until she becomes a "regular&quo...

Maybe the "educated" thing referred to her poise..and the way she answered the questions. Many young players are not that balanced when it comes to interviews etc. Otherwise, India's image has seen a sea change..(among the "educated" people of US), thanks to the IT and tech secto...

It is bad!Did you see how she was serving against Mashona?She was struggling.Her first serves were getting killed,and she usually packs a lot of power in them.Even some of her groundies were just wild.She never misses the lines by that much.Sania doesn't seem to know where to draw the line on how m...

Sania playing in doubles shows that her injury is not that bad as it is sometimes portrayed in this forum. People here have been citing injury excuses every now and then (when she loses a set or a match). She's the best judge when it comes to her health.

"saala" mean brother-in-law...but that's not the way it is mostly used. It's a kind of curse..though some people don't mind it..and use it occasionally in their flowery conversations :) And I'm from the Hindi speaking belt..so I know this for a fact. I've seen lots of silly brawls starting...

Seriously, I can't understand why a statement like "Come on Sania".."Biryani power" is derogatory ?

Can somebody explain ?

Thanks.

she has also mentioned in several intervews that it was great to play in front of your home crowd..and their support was very important for her.
She has also expressed similar views in Dubai, west coast etc.

punnets -- did you notice that it was sumanth's first post here? .. That too written in a light vein. Do you have to be that hard on him? .. Yes, I noticed that. He was being hard on all the other members on this forum..the people who are not "real fans". People who line up for star-wars ...

Too bad we the real fans - the tennis funda guys from LA (& elsewhere!) - weren't there to cheer her

Some people feel that they are the "real" fans of Sania..while all the others are just following the bandwagon.
Grow up!
