Critics who do not appreciate Sania's achievements probably do not take other factors in consideration...
It's really really difficult for a sportsperson, especially a woman to even get to international level of sports, leave alone excelling in it or becoming a grand slam winner.
Well we talk about the media hype of Sania after she broke into top 50....but can you imagine the struggle she would have had to go through for the first 6-7 years of her career just to get proper equipments and training, when she was a non-entity.
do you know we have so many tennis players who are national heroes but languish in 200-400 in the ATP rankings for all of their career.
Its the mentality and thinking of people like us which is responsible for the state of sports in India.
