Name: Sania Mirza
Profession : Tennis Player
Country : india

Characteristics : Attitude, Fighting Spirit, stylish, dare devil, controversies, ambitious, public relations

My Learnings:

Attitude :
She loves Tennis. No questions about it. Without hard work, she would not be where she is now. I see a tinge of attitude in her. Yes. Why not?
"That's how I play. I'm going to have maybe 50 unforced errors one day, but I'm going to also have 50 winners that day. People just have to accept me the way I play. Maybe I can add variation to my game, but I'm going to win matches only when I hit those winners." - Sania Mirza
Yes..on court, you know the best as to what to do. When a ball is coming towards, you do not recollect coach telling you something ealier and how you are 'supposed' to return the ball. Just do it your way !

She also said "I just came here thinking I wanted to win one round and won three," .
Take is as it come. Enjoy what you do.

Fighting spirit:

Three surgeries in 5 years. It is tough for one to come back. Yet, she did it again and again.
Then there were some issues related to moral policing, religious leaders asking for her blood (remember short skirt issue) and crtics commenting how she can go only upto round 2 or round 3. She keeps aside all of them and fights. And see her spirit on the court. I have never seen her slowing her pace or playing defensive tennins. I like her statement - "If you expect me to play perfect tennis, I can't. What matters most is that I won."

Stylish

She has always been stylish on court and off court. Her game is stylish. See her forehand shots. They are the best. She has an amazing dress sense. And her T-Shirts used to give statements ! And she even walked ramp for the designers Shantanu and Nikhil. And the style certainly gets you more followers. Being beautiful is not your mistake ! Playing stylish helps !

Dare Devil

She is not scared. She does what she thinks is right.with a career high ranking of 27 in singles and 7 in doubles, she is the first Indian female player to surpass US$1M in career earnings is not easy, unless you dare the devils inside !

Controversies

It is sad that she had to face too many controversies. First it was short skirt and even a fatwa was issued. Then came 'Insulting National Flag' and 'breaking the engagement'. Then the bigger controversy of marrying Shoaib Malik, a Pakistani Cricketer. Then the latest Olympics controversy, where she gave a very bold statement. And did any of these take her mind off tennis and did she go into shell? NO.. She is bold enough to manage all these.

Ambitious

She is ambitious and it shows in her aggressiveness. Only thing I did not like was one news item where AP Government refused to allot land for her Tennis Academy in the posh Banjara Hills ( Jublee Hills..I am not sure) long time back and asked her to focus on tennis than getting prime land at concessional price. If it was true, her team should have waited till she achieved something bigger. Now that she need not prove any thing to anyone, I am glad that she is starting an academy in the outskirts on a four acre land, where land is cheaper. I bet we see more Sania Mirzas from this academy.

Public relations

Press loves to write about her. Press loves to publish her photos. Yes. Why not. You play very well. You are good looking, stylish and a celebrity. It is good to be in news many times.

When to downplay !

She realized that her body can not take singles and now decided to play only doubles, where she is achieving great heights. This is a very good decision
