As the 2009 Wimbledon decants into the pages of history, memories of the battle for the title between Roger Federer and Andy Roddick still linger.

Sania will remain immortal if she appears on the postage stamps. National heroes are always honored by the government by displaying there pictures on postage stamps. But it was the common practice to honor them like this only after their death. But this time, the government is planning to honor such personalities in their living years.

When Sania Mirza became the first woman from India to advance as far as the fourth round of a Grand Slam tournament — at the 2005 United States Open — she felt the glory and the sting of her instant success.
A fatwa was reportedly issued from Muslim clerics, who said her tennis outfits were too revealing, threatening to stop her from playing tennis. She had to add private security when she played a match in Calcutta after the Open.
