SANIA IS CARED BY GLOBOSPORT

Sania Mirza is something more than an athlete. When the precocious 18-year-old from Hyderabad stepped onto court in her third round match at the Australian Open against Serena Williams, and confidently traded groundstrokes and fought fire with fire, she captured the spirit of New India.
She is the first Indian girl to win at the Wimbledon Juniors and to be ranked in the top 10 world junior rankings, and the only Indian to be ranked No. 1 in the world junior doubles rankings.
She is the youngest Indian to win a professional tennis tour title, the first Indian to win a WTA Tour doubles title and a WTA Tour singles title. She is the first Indian woman to break into the top 100 world rankings and the first Indian woman to reach the third round of a Grand Slam event.With Sania’s impressive effort in the second round of Wimbledon 2005, her WTA ranking has escalated to a career-best 70.
Sania’s inspired and exciting performance against Svetlana Kuznetsova in the second round of Wimbledon 2005 caught the attention of TV viewers, spectators and the media. Sania had previously defeated Kuznetsova on her way to winning the Dubai Open earlier in the year.
Today, Sania is more than a tennis player. With her irresistible combination of talent and flamboyance - she has emerged as a popular youth icon, and as a nation's sweetheart, her every move is followed by millions in both urban and small-town India.
Sania moved up the rankings with her progress to the semifinals of the Japan Open and more recently partnered South African Liezel Huber to win the Bangalore Open doubles finals while also making it to the second round of the USD 175,000 Bangalore Open. India is clearly witnessing something new - a global sports icon from India who is a household name and a record-breaker.Globosport is proud to be managing Sania's brand equity and showcasing her clear edge.
