Answer 11

Sania Mirza (born November 15, 1986) is an Indian tennis player.

She was born in Mumbai and now resides in Hyderabad. Coached by her father Imran Mirza, she began playing tennis at the age of six, turning professional in 2003.

She is the highest ranked female tennis player ever from India, ranked number 31 in singles and 109 in doubles by mid-October 2005.

She became the first Indian woman to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam tournament at the 2005 US Open, defeating Mashona Washington, Maria Elena Camerin and Marion Bartoli. In 2004, she finished runner up to Na Li at the Asian Tennis Championship. The Asian Tennis Championship traditionally gains a wild card into the Australian Open the following year. After Na Li qualified for the Australian Open on her own merit, Mirza received a wild card entry to the 2005 Australian Open. Mirza reached the third round, losing to eventual champion Serena Williams.

On February 12, 2005, she became the first Indian woman to win a WTA singles title defeating Alyona Bondarenko of Ukraine in the Hyderabad Open Finals.

Sania won the Wimbledon Championships Girls' Doubles title in 2003, teaming up with Alisa Kleybanova of Russia.

Mirza has earned a large fan following in India, as she is one of the very few young women from the country to have done well at the highest levels of sport. The media termed the phenomenon Sania Mania. She reportedly has sponsorships to the tune of U.S. $ 0.35 million per brand per annum. In 2005, she was awarded the Arjuna award in tennis for the year 2004. The Government of India honoured her with Padma Shri, the fourth highest civilian award in 2006. She has defeated two top 10 players, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Nadia Petrova.

Watching her performance in Acura Classics, tennis legend Pancho Segura, Ecuador-born American player who roamed the courts in the 1940s and 50s, felt that Sania's hard-hitting game resembled that of Romanian tennis legend Ilie Năstase - Segura said that Mirza had a natural way of hitting the ball and that she hit it hard, like Năstase.

Mirza is also the first Indian sportswoman to feature on the cover of Time magazine (South Asian edition) and was included in its 2005 list of Asia's 50 heroes. She also won the WTA's Most Impressive Newcomer award for the year 2005.

Hackles have been raised in some quarters supposedly due to her attire not being in line with her Muslim background. According to one report published September 8, 2005[1], an unnamed religious scholar had issued a fatwa, saying that her attire is contrary to what is permitted by Islam.
