Hurricane Sania Mirza swept fans off their feet in 2005

Hurricane Sania Mirza swept fans off their feet in 2005

She wooed the west with her nonchalant aggression, won admirers for her forehand, irked clerics with her outfit but most importantly, she cracked the top league and the year 2005 saw charismatic Sania Mirza's meteoric rise in the tennis horizon.

Eminent Hyderabadis Mohammed Azharduddin and VVS Laxman have been known for the supple wrists and lazy elegance. But as if to break the convention, here is a 19-year-old lass who whacks the ball so hard and has a awesome forehand that is compared with her idol Steffi Graff's.

Beginning the year well outside 200, Sania's scintillating displays saw her leapfrogging to the top 50 before eventually climbing a career best 31st rankings.
