Sania and Bhupathi on top of Asia

Asian top women tennis player is now our own Sania Mirza. After her tremendous performance in the Australian open, she gained 931 points to move to 29^th position making her Asia’s best. She lost to Venus Williams in the third round of the Australian open. “I am very happy and I think it’s the first time I have become Asia’s first. It’s an honour”, Sania said.

In the mixed doubles category, Sania- Bhupathi reached the finals but lost to a better pair in the finals. But it was the first time an Indian mixed doubles pair reached the finals of a grand slam tournament. This is itself an achievement for India and they too became Asia`s No.1 mixed doubles pair.
