Sania Mirza-Small Kid wonder

Born in Mumbai on 15th November 1986, Sania started playing Lawn Tennis at a tender age of six. Sania was into the game mould very soon and started practicing under CK Bhupati who happens to be India's top tennis star Mahesh Bhupati's father. Sania has an interesting tale going for her for her inception to the game. Her dad Imran Mirza and mom Nasima were watching a Steffi Graf and Conchita Martinez battle, when they decided to make their daughter a Tennis star.

Sania's career hasn't been a bed of roses. Her family's financial conditions were not that good for the girl to lift her game. She was highly encouraged by the Andhra Pradesh government who sponsored all her events. Annually Sania requires 40 lakhs for her expenses and Andhra Pradesh government is trying their level best to see that the lady scales height.

Sania through her riveting performance has captured million hearts at stake. Globosport, which is managing Sania's portfolio, is also looking forward to a coaching stint for the Indian girl with Bob Brett, the man who once trained Boris Becker and Goran Ivanisevic.

Sania's mom travels with her in every tour and checks her daughter health and hygiene factor. A Telugu film producer had planned to make a movie, with Sania playing the lead actress but Sania's mom is strict about it. Sania meanwhile is planning to finish her graduation and then maybe in the near future. Sania is like any ordinary girl. Sania likes listening to Rap and Hindi remix. Sania has no boyfriend now and plans to have one in the near future.

Sania has dreams of being the Wimbledon singles champion one day and is working on her serve and volley at will. However Sania gives education her due point. Sania wants to complete her graduation and embark on professional tennis further. Her goal is to be the numero uno and going by her recent performance Sania has every chance of performing well in the global circuit and if she does that she would be another crowning jewel to Indian pedestal.
