Sidhoni Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Sania is absolutely right. I do not understand why did Leander's father spoke to the media and not Leander himself?
bulbul Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Sania is absolutely right. I do not understand why did Leander's father spoke to the media and not Leander himself? because thats how its played from long time...its always Paes father talking while Leander sits silent like a saint
Sidhoni Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Dr Manmohan Singh @PM0India Sania Mirza's letter says she was humiliated as a woman. She should look at me. I am humiliated by a woman daily. :cantstop:
youngindia Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 what hell is she doing in doubles first of all? unlike bhupathi and paes, sania and yuki can have a career in singles. Getting the easy achievements in doubles ,in absence of elite top players, instead of doingthe hard yards in singles(Women's singles is inbad shape anyway) is nothing admirable. federer singlehandedly destroyed paes- bhupathi last time showing even a out of touch top player can slaughter doubles specilaists. if she wants real espect, she better apply herself hard to sort out her problems in singles.she has always been a whiner.

Now she is beyond singles. She had her best singles ranking some 5-6 years ago. Currently she is ranked outside top 200. Noway she was going to get in main draw of singles at olympics. Now she is trying to draw whatever mileage she could by playing in doubles which is right thing to do, IMHO.

Drawing milleage in a much weaker field fools superficial people. but its not at all admirable and she will fall well short of her potential. what applies to the careers of paes ,bhupathi does not apply to her. she can have a career in singles ,so no excuses for her. ranked in the 200's does not mean anything.its short term. at her best, she will be well inside top 50. that's what she has to aim for.
Crookbond Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 AITA rejects Sania's claims, says team selected on merit http://www.hindustantimes.com/SportsSectionPage/Chunk-HT-UI-Olympics-IndiainOlympics/AITA-rejects-Sania-s-claims-says-team-selected-on-merit/Article1-879404.aspx All India Tennis Association (AITA) on Wednesday put up a weak defence to Sania's Mirza's jibe taken at it, saying the selection for the London Olympics was done purely on merit and that it acknowledges the accomplishments of Sania. Sania, who got a wild card entry into the Olympics, had last night lashed out at All India Tennis Association (AITA) for using her as a "bait to pacify a disgruntled stalwart" (Leander Paes). AITA had assured Paes a pairing with Sania in the mixed doubles event for the London Games after he was teamed up with lower-ranked Vishnu Vardhan for the men's doubles, following Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna's refusal to play with him. In doing so, AITA broke the Grand Slam winning combination of Sania and Bhupathi. But tennis body defended its selection process, saying Sania's pairing with Paes was purely based on merit and that it helped the Hyderabadi in securing a wild card from the International Tennis Federation (ITF). "As regards selection of teams, the selection committee on 21st June, the last date for nomination, noted that Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna had made themselves unavailable for selection with Leander Paes despite efforts of AITA. "The Committee then selected Leander Paes with Vishnu Vardhan as his doubles partner as Vishnu Vardhan was the preferred partner and also silver medalist in Asian Games," the AITA secretary general Bharat Oza said in a statement. "The committee also decided that wild card application be made for Somdev Devvarman and for Sania Mirza for both women's singles as well as women's doubles as without a wild card she will not be eligible to play mixed doubles. "The committee, thereafter, selected world No. 7 and India No. 1 Leander Paes to partner world No. 12 and India No. 1 Sania Mirza in the mixed doubles Olympics event. With a combined ranking of 19 they were placed ninth in the top 12 teams to be eligible for mixed doubles. This selection is purely on merits as stated hereinabove," the statement added. Sania, in her hard-hitting statement, had said that AITA was portraying a wrong picture by saying she and Paes was the only possible qualification in the mixed doubles event for India. AITA said it respects Sania and that her team with Paes was very much capable of fetching a medal at the next month's Games. "AITA respects all its players and is fully aware of the accomplishments of Sania Mirza as an excellent tennis player. AITA believes that Leander and Sania together are capable of producing fantastic results in the Olympics," the statement said. The national tennis body also appealed to the players to forget their personal differences for the sake of country's interest. "We earnestly appeal to all the players to unite together, shed off all their differences, stop going public and join hands together in the best national interest of winning medals for the country and to bring glory to the nation."
yoda Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Sania is absoltely right. She was offered as a deal for Leander and she has the right to feel insulted.
beetle Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 some tweets.... Wonder if Sania Mirza's strong womanly dignity &self-respect had raised their heads before she got the wild card! Shame on her for hypocrisy Comedy Central India @ComedyCentralIn Sania Mirza's letter is stronger than her serve. #fact Ramesh Srivats @rameshsrivats Of course, AITA will be frequently communicating with Leander Paes' father & Sania Mirza's mother. They are Indian tennis' parent body, no?
beetle Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Sania should shut up about the insulting Indian womanhood bit.How is this about her being a woman ?...she was used as a bait as a potential partner in a mixed game ...period.Nothing to do with her womanhood. Wish she had the guts to lash out while she was being used as a bait and not hrs after getting the wild card....very conveniently.

Playing mixed doubles is not like - you are going for an orgy.

Cricketics Posted June 27, 2012 Posted June 27, 2012 Solid start for our pair. Bopanna/Bhupathi with 6-0, 7-6 IN ROUND 1 of Wimbledon Mens Doubles. Good luck to them for 2ND ROUND. Also hopefully Paes/Stepanek have a good run There is a chance of Paes/Stepanek clashing with the Indian pair in Round 4
