Sania Mirza is the Joshna Chinappa of tennis

She's got youth on her side, attitude and the talent to back it up. Meet Joshna Chinappa, 19-year-old squash champion.

Joshna Chinappa, who made history by becoming the first Indian girl to win the British Junior Open under-19 title, was in Mumbai recently, when BT caught up with her

On being referred to as the ‘Sania Mirza of squash'.
If people think I am the Sania Mirza of squash, then Sania is the Joshna Chinappa of tennis!! I just think there is no comparison between us because her achievements are very different from mine.

Her take on Sania Mirza's short skirt becoming an issue.
I don't think people should really care what the length of her skirt is, as long as she is performing. She is an Indian first and here to play her game, perform and go home and not worry about anything else.

Joshna's squash journey.
I started playing at the Madras Cricket Club at eight. My dad used to play and still does. So, basically, I started because of him and trained with him for many years.
