Sania Mirza beat Olga Savchuk of Ukraine to advance to the second round of the Australian Open. If she moves to the third round, there is a potential matchup against the Swiss Miss, Martina Hingis.

Anybody for Mirza in the 3rd round? If yes, can she beat the Swiss Miss (whom she might meet)? How far in the tournament will Sania go?

Nice article about Sania and Anna Ivanovic finding fitness to improve their power.

Quote of the day- “The heat in Australian tans you. You can feel the sun burning your legs during changeovers. In Hyderabad, the sun isn’t that hot. I don’t know if it’s the ozone or whatever.” - Sania

    Hey guys

    Keep up the good work!

    The picture that you have put up is UNJUST to Sania :)

    They have one picture of her up on ausopen.org and way more than any victory, the picture shows her determination to succeed. If you haven’t seen her in a while, I guarantee that you will be stunned!

    @ DS: I haven’t seen you here in a long time! Yes, very nice snap on the aussie open website. Will use it in the next article!

  6. DS Says:

    It has???? Probably got too lazy to browse. Sheesh!!!!

    btw…Not sure if I got the message across right. But seeing Sania’s pic made me realize that she had worked unbelievable hard on her fitness over the off season. Which is what I meant by her showing a determination to succeed. Of course, the snap was nice otherwise too! :)
