Sania mania officially begins!

Sania Mirza has won the Hyderabad Open, becoming the first Indian woman to win a WTA tour title. It is a small tournament but Sania was playing in only her fifth WTA tournament and she is eighteen years young, meaning she has to start somewhere. It must have been awesome to win a tournament in her hometown (I believe Hyderabad is her hometown) with her friends and relatives in the crowd. I only hope skeptics and naysayers giver her time to savour this victory. There has been plenty of coverage of Sania after her third-round showing at the Aussie open, which ended with a defeat to Serena which was not completely a rollover, but this tournament victory kind of justifies the coverage from the media. And before I forgot, Sania has one more WTA singles tournament victory than
someone some of us know and love and pray to every day!
