Malcolm Merlyn Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Quote Sanjay Manjrekar loves to court controversy. Or so it seems. After taking a dig at the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena on Twitter on Tuesday, the former India batsman took a swipe at tennis ace Sania Mirza. Sania, who has completed a staggering 80 weeks as World No 1, was sharing her joy on Twitter, where she posted: “Today I complete 80 consecutive weeks as the number 1 player in d world. its been an amazing journey and just inspires me to work harder @WTA”. Now, Manjrekar, known to be a controversy courter, either woke up on the wrong side of the bed or was just not excited enough to partake in Sania’s success, and decided to belittle the tennis ace. In reply to Sania’s tweet, the former Mumbai batsman wrote: “No 1 doubles player you mean. Congrats!” Sania, being Sania, gave it back in equal measure. “Since I don't play singles anymore isn't that obvious/common sense?my bad,common sense is not that common after all I guess.. :) Hey, but thanks for the wishes though,” she replied to Manjrekar’s tweet. Sania gave him a piece of her mind, but there was more in store for Manjrekar, who got roasted on Twitter for his sly tweet. From questioning his batting to calling him ‘jealous person’, Manjrekar was heavily trolled. Some one called NothingIsImpossible wrote: “@sanjaymanjrekar of course @MirzaSania meant double. Never thought u were so dumb to confrm it.” One Rajesh Gupta @Rajesh3010 tweeted: @sanjaymanjrekar @MirzaSania @WTA Proud moment Sania. Many congratulations and way to go.... Sanjay, thaand Rakh. A handle called @doctornobody wrote: @sanjaymanjrekar Sir aap to no.1 commentator bhi nahi ban paye! Someone called @deadlyowl tweeted: @sanjaymanjrekar your attempts to belittle other people are sadder than your batting career. The trolling continued as one @Mrinalkhona tweeted: @sanjaymanjrekar were you even no 10th anywhere anytime in your life?? Trying to do @virendersehwag ?? You do not have the class nor taste. @sanjaymanjrekar @MirzaSania sanjay manjrekar you are like your commentary which has more of jealousy then sense..Sania proud of you. Gaurav @basher24 tweeted: @sanjaymanjrekar @MirzaSania @WTA is it so diffcult to be happy with others achievement hv u ever been No 1 in anything in life”. As the old adage goes: ‘Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’. Tweet-happy Manjrekar brought it upon himself.
Forever Indian Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Lol Manju deserves this and more. What a prick!
MCcricket Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 Sanjay should not get his nose in other people's business, although he was right, she had mistakenly mentioned number 1 in the world and that is most probably understood as singles by default Vilander 1
gattaca Posted October 19, 2016 Posted October 19, 2016 My god Twitter is worse. I guess Sanjay went little overboard but Twitter is a cruel world. I guess not everyone follows Sania mirza. It's not she is sachin tendulkar. She tweets like she is goddesses of Indian tennis. Too much ego in her tweets. Vilander and G_B_ 2

She could have just replied with a simple Yes. While I really have a lot of respect for Mirza's tennis skills and what she has been able to achieve, saying that you are number one in the sport is a bit misleading, especially when doubles is not considered nearly as competitive as singles. maniac, MK55, express bowling and 2 others 5
jalebi_bhai Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Manju is a donkey. Always has a chip on his shoulder. Hard to believe that he is a grown man.
Temujin Khaghan Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Sanjay does not know how to troll... it is a very arrogant tweet by sania to announce herself as "the no.1 player" in the world... The entire Indian media does heavy misrepresentation as far as Indian achievements in tennis is concerned. Often I found that Leander Paes is reported as the "17 time GrandSlam winner". The words "doubles" and "mixed doubles" are often found missing. We should not forget that most of the people who play doubles are older tennis players (have beens), players with a disastrous injury and players with a major flaw in their technique which was left un-corrected in their teenage. Sania Mirza finally chose to play doubles because of atleast 2 of those reasons. Vaughan would have trolled in a more tasteful manner... In a way Sania couldn't counter that anymore. Sarcasm is an art. Edited October 20, 2016 by Temujin Khaghan sandeep and tweaker 2
MechEng Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Manjrekar brings his medium pace obsession attitude in his tweets as well by being deceptive. He needs to be fast, short pitched and in-your-face with his tweets. tweaker 1
Temujin Khaghan Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 “Why we are even playing doubles at this point is a mystery to me,” said McEnroe. “I love doubles but I don’t even recognise what this is. If there was a volleying contest from the service line, most of these guys couldn’t . . .” He stopped and sighed. “They play an inch from the net. It is like wham, bam, thank you ma’am. “If you cut out doubles and gave that money to singles players ranked between 200 and 1,000, maybe that would do something for the game. Then some other guy who never really had the chance to play ends up becoming No 100 in the world instead of quitting when he’s No 400. “Most doubles players, I hate to say, are the slow guys who were not quick enough to play singles.” Yet when McEnroe was asked whether the Bryans could have made it as singles players, he did not dissemble. “No,” he replied. “What do you think they are playing doubles for? I like them and single-handledly they’ve tried to keep doubles going. There is something cool to watch these twins. “But sometimes I hear people saying they are the greatest doubles players of all time. I’m like ‘Excuse me?’ If you put Federer and Nadal together, I am taking them.” tweaker 1
Lannister Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Tennis is an overrated sport, the fact that she had to announce it tells that nobody gives a hoot in India. Badminton is way more exciting and requires superior athleticism to own the game. Poor Sanju, seems like he never gets a break.

Nope, Badminton is a popular game among Asians and Asia has got the biggest population. You see Badminton courts in almost every schools and colleges across India unlike Tennis.

For beginners, Tennis is just too boring, tiresome and it doesn't offer you any excitement. I'd rather do a wicket keeping job than play Tennis. tweaker 1
Malcolm Merlyn Posted October 20, 2016 Author Posted October 20, 2016 Please sack Manju from commentary team.
Malcolm Merlyn Posted October 20, 2016 Author Posted October 20, 2016 Manju and sania......both are pricks. Why you hate Sania?
beetle Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) The person(very irritating ,specially her nasal yak yak ) ..not the player. Manju was right here ......(if you forget for a moment that it was manju) There was no reason to react the way she did.Every one knows the difference between singles and doubles in tennis.Just should not take credit for something you are not. It is like a transport pilot calling himself a fighter pilot. A slow medium pacer calling himself a Tearaway fast bowler......

Nobody gives a hoot to doubles Temujin Khaghan 1
