You want her to exit in the second round as you do not like her face ? Well, many others like her face and tennis too, so bull shit to you....
No or little media coverage on the badminton sensation Saina Nehwal who just won her maiden Indonesian open title, first by an Indian. She is much more promising sporting talent than the too much overhyped Sania Mirza. It's indeed sad and pathetic.

While I agree that Saina Nehwal doesn't get even nearly as much coverage as she should get, it is wrong to demean Sania Mirza who has put India on the tennis map again. Everyone knows tennis singles is the real tennis and doubles is way down the ladder. Given that Sania Mirza is the first Indian to enter the top 30 in singles after Ramesh Krishnan.. a gap of nearly 30 years. Neither Paes nor Bhupati have cracked the top 100 in singles.
Lets not lose perspective in our effort to get credit for Saina Nehwal which she thoroughly deserves. I do agree that Saina's accomplishment is greater than Sania's, but that doesn't mean we rubbish Sania. Regards.
I switched on the TV and noticed Sania playing. I could see two girls in her, an advanced player with anticipated stroke results and a timid. One appreciable point is that she did not make excessive body language for failed shots especially in the second game.
Sania mirza is good for doubles and Mixed doubles only. She can't go far in he doesn't have the capacity to linger long in singles. If she can concentrate more in doubles & mixed I think can be world no.1.
But Saina is world class. She will be world no.1 in Badmintor one day or the other. She has the capacity and tenacity.nly she should take care of her health & injury. All the best to both Saina & Sania. These women are making a mark for themselves in the world and making India proud.

Ya. Sania's chances are bleak to reach anywhere in top 10, however Saina can become the No:1 in badminton. Anyway both these gals make India proud..
Media spoiled the sport..... Yes, when sania lost against venus williams in straight sets couple of years ago, they mentioned that as a hard fought defeat. More than enough for her for getting spoiled.....
