Sania Mirza is the highest ranked tennis player from India. India has stood on the sidelines of international tennis for a long time. Even now, the highest ranked Indian in the male ranking is an American, Prakash Amritraj, at 278. Rohan Bopanna is at 292 and there is no other Indian on the ranking list till we move down to the 400s.

Sunitha Rao is ecstatic about playing in her maiden Olympics and is hopeful that together with Sania Mirza, they can win a medal for India in the doubles event in tennis.

US-born Sunitha along with Sania Mirza will compete in the women’s doubles at the Beijing Olympics, having got a wild-card entry Wednesday.

India’s best tennis hope is in a career trough. Sania Mirza needs to gain some top spin before she can vault out, says SHANTANU GUHA RAY

Okay…this posting is basically for guys lah. Yeah yeah yeah..guys only because we’re gonna talk about beautiful athletes – gorgeous top athletes of the world.
You know, I still remember in the 60s and 70s the myth played up by Americans that Russian women were ugly. Whenever, a Russian woman is characterised in a comic skit, she would have a moustache and full of male hormones. The joke was similar to that making fun of Irish intelligence.
How wrong were they? Now we know that the world’s most gorgeous women comes from that part of the world (including those that ends with -stan like Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan etc).
So, what got to me writing this post was that the two Williams sisters are playing in the Wimbledon tennis finals – arggghh…and the Americans got the cheek to say Russian women are ugly.
I stopped watching this year’s finals when Sharapova and Ivanovic crashed out. These two glamour girls are like magnets (to men who previously don’t watch women’s tennis). In fact, I have a couple of friends who got into hot water when their wives queried their sudden interest in women’s tennis and golf.
I can’t blame them, and other guys, who ogle these athletic beauties. I too would rather watch Paula Creamer swinging a driver than watching Colin Montgomerie take a tee shot.
So, let’s get to the bottom of things…who are the most beautiful and sexiest female athletes in the world. Actually since we don’t really get to see most sports on TV, we don’t really get to see gorgeous athletes from other sports but let’s just try okay?
