hey - firstly -great devotion to sania mirza dude!
but i dont think she is a 'sensation'. saw her in dubai last year - when she kicked svetlana kuznetsova's ass - after seeing that i was like fineally indai's found a sporting talent. but one year on, she has remained at the same level - as in not improved and i dont see a bright future unless she does something about it. maybe she needs to get out of this media attraction.
