Asian no 1 for Sania

After her spectacular display in the Australian open 08, Sania Mirza is now ranked 29th in the world. In singles she reached the third round only to be defeated by Venus Williams. Also she lost the mixed doubles finals along with her partner Mahesh Bhupathi. Looks like we have a chance for an Olympic medal in the tennis arena at Beijing this year.

Her jump in the rankings make her the no1 in Asia & the first Indian woman to do so. This hardly comes as a surprise because of her current form & she has more places to go still. But I'm disappointed she has decided to pull out of the Banglore Open. People have been on Sachin Tendulkar or even Sourav Ganguly's case since forever. But they din't quit. Maybe Sania should learn to ignore what everyone in the world has to say & listen only to those who matter.
