Having completed a fruitful training stint with renowned coach Tony Roche, Sania Mirza is ready to return to the courts with renewed vigour.
The 19-year-old Indian ace, who hit the headlines with her aggressive brand of tennis past season, says the three-week programme in Australia with the legendary Roche has whetted her appetite and she is keen to add more colourful chapters to her career that has had a fairy tale start.
Sania, who rose from 166 to a career high 31 in world rankings in 2005, will kick start the season with a high profile exhibition event in Hong Kong from January 4.
Roche's training
So, how good was Roche after all? Was he better than Bob Brett?
"I don't think I know enough about the game to actually think of comparing these coaches who are legends," the teenager said.
"But the impression I got about Roche is that he is one who likes to add to a player's repertoire rather than change his or her style of play."
