It's all Sania Mirza all the time in the Indian press this week as Mirza plays in the debut Sunfeast Open. A quick score check just now shows she had no trouble disposing of Juni Namigata 6-2, 6-2 in the first round today, but here's a sampling of what's going on in the press.
From Outlook India: Security tightened further for Sania
"We are not taking any chances. The commandos will be there with her whenever she ventures out of her hotel room," said a senior police officer...
"I think we will have to bear with this. This is an unusual situation. We have to protect the national treasure (Sania)," Mahesh Bhupathi, who owns Globosport, organisers of the tournament, said during an interaction with newspersons.
It sounds like she's in jail.
You'd never compare Mirza's go-for-broke aggressive tennis game with Bjorn Borg's human backboard routine, but rediff.com does find a similarity between the two players: Can Sania Mirza do a Bjorn Borg?
