The tennis seedings and the draw for the Commonwealth Games make India look good to win quite a few medals. Somdev Devvarman is the top seed in men’s singles and Sania Mirza second in women’s draw. The famed pair of Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi have no challengers for the top billing in men’s doubles.
She is seeded number two in a depleted field, but Indian tennis star Sania Mirza is not ready to take a medal for granted when the sport makes its debut at the Commonwealth Games on Monday here.
