Sania at Doha Asian Games

Monday, 17 December 2007

The Queen is back home after scripting history by becoming the first Indian woman tennis player to win three medals, two silver and one gold in the Doha Asian Games. Sania Mirza said that receiving the gold medal on the podium along with Leander Paes, to the accompaniment of the national anthem, was the "most memorable and emotional moment" of her career. In an exclusive chat with The Hindu after her return to Hyderabad on Thursday morning, Sania said that she was playing at her best now. "The transformation after the three-week stint with South African physical trainer Heath Mathew has been unbelievable," she said. "I believe that I had a great week in Doha. It is unfortunate that I missed the singles gold and also the women's team event gold. But, we have to confess that our rivals played better tennis that day," she said. Sania doesn't want to complain about the taxing schedule as it was the same for everyone.
