Indian "Challenge" @ Oz Open 2008

With Mahesh and Leander opting to play doubles only and with Rohan Bopanna and Prakash Amritraj losing their way in qualifiers, the ONLY Indian challenge @ Oz open in singles is Sania Mirza. Though criticized by majority of the group (The best indian model to ever play tennis), Sania still offers some hope for Indian tennis followers, by inching ahead, slowly though, in the WTA circuit. She may not end up winning great many championships, but definitely have refreshed tennis enthusiasm on young Indian tennis aspirants. Another Indian origin US player Rajeev Ram, did not show enough promise by losing in the first round.
