Status Updates From Ace against Odds

Completed reading till Chapter 12 (My Grand Slam Debut) - which chronicled the story of Sania from her early Tennis days (1999) to make a mark at state, national and finally international level. It answered few questions I had like who financed her journey and it was initially self financed (although with lot of struggle) and once started getting recognition then sponsors started coming to support.

Picked up the autobiography of Sania Mirza to better understand how a country like India was able to produce #1 World Level tennis player. Completed reading the intro by Martina Hingis and Mahesh Bhupathi and first 3 chapters which explained her brief 1 year stay in US as kid and then parents supporting her desire to play tennis at little age and father having a sports background guided her while mom also supported.
