Sania's sister focusses on shooting

Wimbledon is not the only place where Sania Mirza will be up against stiff competition. She could face sibling rivalry at home.

Sania's kid sister, Anam too plans to be a sportswoman. The only difference is that she is planning to hit bull's eye in the arena of shooting.

The class VI student's daily haunt in the afternoon for the last six weeks has been the shooting range in Hyderabad where she practises on the 10 m range pistol.

"I had gone to a fun fair in Mumbai where I shot ten out of ten balloons. So I turned to my mother and said I want to take up shooting," said Anam Mirza, Sania's sister.

Sights on shooting

While Sania remains an inspiration Anam's role model is Olympic silver medallist Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore.

And it does not bother Anam that the world number 75 tennis player does not think too much of shooting as a sport.

"She says it is such a boring game. She is more fond of sporty games like running etc. But I like this," said Anam Mirza.

Sania started holding a racquet when she was six. Anam says at 11, she is old enough to pull the trigger.

And she would be more than keen to prove that like Sania, she too will hit bull's eye one day on the world stage.
