Friday, March 11, 2005 (Kolkata):The nation's 'Sania Mania' reached a new high today with the first publication entirely devoted to the teenage tennis sensation Sania Mirza hitting the stands.
The 48-page Bengali booklet Sania Sania includes a long interview with the 18-year old girl, who has pleasantly surprised the country's tennis buffs recently by winning the WTA tournament in Hyderabad after becoming the first ever Indian woman to reach the third round of the Australian Open.
Among those who paid glowing tributes to Sania's exploits in the publication were former Davis Cuppers Naresh Kumar, Jaidip Mukerjea and Subroto Bose and celebrated coach Akhtar Ali.
The booklet, published by Satyajug Prakasahn, has also incorporated comments by Indian cricket skipper Sourav Ganguly and national soccer captain Bhaichung Bhutia on the rise of Sania Mirza. (PTI)
