Upset in Men's section is less because they play FIVE setter.It is difficult for low rank player to cause upset by performing his best in all 5 sets.

Also men dont have periods, which makes it uncomfortable for the women players. Maybe thats why the women players loses in straight sets to unknowns also.

Despite losing ignominously in the second round at the Flushing Meadows, Sania Mirza's photographs were seen prominently occupying the sports pages of the print media. If, by chance, she hapeens to win a Grand Slam Singles crown, then I am sure, her picture would be published on the entire front page space of all the leading newspapers; an honour even the Father of the Nation might not have enjoyed.

Very True .. She is 1 athlete who is getting unnecessary attention. She doesn't deserve that..
Look at saina she is much better that her just because she is a ordinary looking female she is not getting her due. I Feel bad for her

Because she is beautiful, photogenic, stylish, Media angle is Not alway performance in sports but "who can raise TRP".
SANIA surly raises TRP of ANY channel/Publication, which very few athelete can do having moderate performance.

I agree with Kelvin, Sania's performance may be moderate, but APPEAL is Very high, which NO ONE can ignore. Is it her fault that she gets million eyeballs
while playing ?? Surly it has to do with beauty. Watch her beauty if not game and keep quite. She looks better than even Priyanka Chopra.

Don't worry. Sania will never win a Grand Slam Singles title or even an Olympic bronze (third place)medal. Not even in her dreams!
