In the International circuit, apart from the Indianapolis Grand Prix (bycotted by many top teams), what has he done which makes him a champion

Sania Mania seems to have gripped the nation. In a nation which produces mediocre sportsperson, an individual showing just a positive sign is endlessly hyped and adored. She seems to be garnering too much media hype, and this will backfire if she performs below expectations(I hope she does not).

reaching upto formula 1 level is in itself a great achievement. Moreover F1 is all about the car. Less about the skill. A person belonging to a country, whose Roads are a hopeless mess, should be appreciated for reaching to that level. Just look beyond the front pages of our english media(which are all filled with sanias images), you will be in a better position to follow that .

Until India develops a similar program and support system, it's unlikely it will see a Grand Slam title.

Reaching ATP ranking from 300 odd to 40ish in a year isn't normal and deserves appreciation.

P.S. though I would love if Narain can prove me wrong.

Tennis champions don't emerge from nowhere; they're cultivated and winnowed from large, sophisticated academies and programs that develop player skills for years. Until India develops a similar program and support system, it's unlikely it will see a Grand Slam title.

Yes, she deserves appreciation.Just that.Not an iota more. But she seems to be receiving encomiums and adulation. Parading on a open top jeep, proclaiming her as a 'youth icon' etc., drive one mad.

Sania seems to have oodles of glamour. I remember my friends flocking to watch her, not her tennis. They took special delight in describing here not her tennis . Describing those comments would be rude in this forum. She seems to be encouraging such people by her lifestyle and attire. If she shuns that we may see a truly respectable champion.

Well I have a fairly long friends circle. That was in my college days a year ago. I wonder whether they would flock to Sania's matches now.

What will be good is don't worry much for Sania either as she probably doesn't give a damn to what her critic think. She has got her way of doing things and she is quite successful with that.
This whole stuff sounds quite similar to speeches of India's self proclaimed Moral Guards who can not stand a girl trying to do things with touch of glamour
Originally posted by Ramesh Choudhary:
The greatest danger to indian sports persons are so called fans, who are led by blind conviction and a rationality smaller than a rat's brain, who shower encomiums during good times and rain stones when the time is not so good.
Originally posted by Ramesh Choudhary:
I hope Sania realizes about such people and ignores them. Critics point out flaws in the game and it is upto the sports person to realize it or leave it.
