As always, she again failed to stand up to India’s expectation. After repeating to media again and again that she is fully fit and is ready for the big grand slam, she did only a bit to make her country cheer. Indian tennis star Sania Mirza bows out of Australian Open in the second round. She was beaten by Russia’s Nadia Petrova in straight sets.

That is the problem with Indian sportspersons. After they make a mark at the world scenario, they are given so much hype, importance and money (through endorsements) that they just do not feel like giving their best to the game. They have a IT’S ENOUGH feeling which affects their game a lot. And once this feeling start creeping inside you, you can never give your best. It will always affect your performance. A sportsman always needs to be hungry for success. Once he feels he is satisfied, he can’t be a champion.

Indian cricket team is also gearing up for a high-voltage series against Sri Lanka in their home ground. Lankan tigers are roaring high to make up for the previous series defeat against the same rivals last July. Indian team is also high on confidence after their great run last year where they won series against Australia and England. It will be really exciting to watch the two neighbours and powerhouse of world and Asian cricket.



And here’s news worth having a look. Ukraine’s Andriy Shevchenko has said Kaka has done the right thing by rejecting his world record offer from Manchester City. What he said meant that EPL is not the right place to nurture talent. It is also said that he gave advice to Kaka over the deal.

This was the news from the sports world...meet you later..
