The Hindu reports that the Andara Pradesh government has granted Rs. 20 lakhs to new Indian tennis star Sania Mirza to pay for training costs. Now they want to pay for training costs! After all the endorsements she's picked up since her third-round showing at the Australian Open? Hopefully Sania will have the good sense to pass it along to a younger Indian player who has yet to hit the big time financially.
And my math skills may be even worse than I thought because I tried to convert 20 lakhs into U.S. dollars and I keep coming up with 2 million dollars. That can't be right, can it? I'm sure the Andara Pradesh government has better things to spend 2 million dollars on.
