Look at the positive side guys !!
by Ganesh Ramesh on Aug 04, 2007 12:54 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Maria beat Sania 6-2 6-1 which means Sania was actually was better than Maria 3 times in this match(AGREED THE END RESULT is WHAT MATTERS MOST)But still looking at the POSITIVE SIDE OF IT..Sania won 3 out of 15 games in this match which means 20% of match Sania dominated over Maria). This shows SANIA has the potential-the capability to even beat the Sharapovas, Williamses & Hingises. Its just a matter of determination,more agility,fitness & experience getting her first serves in more powerfully & correctly. She just needs to be more consistent and more fit & maybe reduce on Hyderabadi Biryani :-) :-) (Being a Hyderabadi myself I know that the World Class Hyderabadi Zafrani Biryani with a glass of Cola is very irresistible,sumptuous & the taste is heavenly & addictive. But Sania has to control her diet ane get more fitter & practice more harder. BUT THOSE WHO CRITICIZE HER TOO MUCH.. PLEASE DONT FORGET THAT SHE IS THE ONLY SINGLEs TENNIS PLAYER PRODUCED BY INDIA (land of over billion people) since we became an independent country in 1947. So this is by no means a small achievement. Have you ever seen a Singles "INDIAN" player playing in WIMBLEDON.. that too a woman ? F1 Grandprix race is LIVE on TV and just imagine some name like Narain Karthikeyan. Yes an INDIAN F1 driver. These are rare gems of INDIAN Sport-how much they win doesnt matter. They atleast proved to the World that INDIANs are strong and worthy enough to qualify & compete in F1 & Tennis Singles. HATS OFF.

PLS DONT UNDERMINE ANY SPORTS PERSONS TALENT..AND NO BIASES TOO...SANIA HAS DONE INDIA PROUD IN LAST ASIAN GAMES ALONG WITH LEANDER. EQUALLY NARAIN KARTHIKEYAN,PT USHA, ANJU GEORGE,KM BEENAMOL,TENDULKARS AND DRAVIDS NEEDS APPRECIATION..COZ THEY ARE REPRESENTING INDIA..SINCE THEY ARE INDIAS BEST.
INSTEAD OF CRITICIZING THEM MOTIVATE THEM.

AND CRITICIZE THEM IF THEY ARE SELFISH..LIKE VISWANATHAN ANAND,WHO DEFINTELY IS ONE OF THE INDIAS WORLD CLASS SPORTS PERSON(IN CHESS)..WHO OPTED OUT OF ASIAN GAMES OF SELFISH REASONS.

Yaa u r right.Her success to enter in tennis arena as a female Indian player is gr8 achivement.But u r talking abt Narain.Tell me which is tougher to enter.F1 or Tennis.Everyone knows(who follow F1) is F1.Then whose achive ment is greater??? But we people dont appreciate his success and the media r same.
And BTW sania is gr8 talent.But did she utilise her talent??? Maybe she can win against sharapova etc. top players.But thats only 1 or 2 match.She cant beat them consistently.And when she beat them thats will call an upset.We want to see her there where nobody call her winning against them an upset

u are absolutly right.Narain achievement is greater compared to Sania.
Sania needs a boyfriend to keep her morale high.

good observation tanmoy....
definitely karthikeyn is a gem....but tennis is no easier by any means..how much f3 races heve won.......neverthere so that we can xpect a top 10 position leave alone winning.......
but mark my words......sania has constantly beaten higher opponents and thats no fluke.....
hingis,petrova,patty shnider,dinara safina,sahar peer,sushan magshashay,marion bartoli........how much more we need to say that she is almost there........
we can't say that she will win a grand slam but definitely she is improving and she can atleat give nebody a good fight......
all d best sania

I wouldn't let Karthikeyan drive me in an auto.
That guy is cr@p. He is the worst thing that happenned to Formula 1.
He can't drive a bullock car on a straight without crashing.
Just because you heard an Indian name in an exotic sport, you became proud of yourself.
All swelled up like a balloon. He is not worth a penny in International circuit.

let me answer u tanmoy.......u tell me once she has beaten them..gud....tell me about another indian male or female apart execption of leander beating sampras once in the history of indian tennis.
u r really strange i think in ur observation.....how many times she played with those players also matters...
if she beats hingis 1 out of two times then its great.n find out...she has done it to all of them....
