Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza celebrates her 20th birthday today. Born November 15, 1986, Sania gave Indian tennis new hope after impressive performances last year, though she failed to live up to expectations in 2006, finishing the year 66th in the singles rankings.
But having come out of her teens now she is hoping for a turnaround in fortunes to repeat her heroics of 2005, which saw her vault as high as 31 in the rankings.
With new fitness trainer South African Heath Mathew, the coming season should see the Hyderabadi lass back among the elite.
Join us in wishing Sania the very best for the coming year.
