Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond are on top of the world and have just won the Indian Wells 2012 Womens Doubles title. Huber and Raymond swept aside Mirza and Vesnina in the final 6-2 6-3.
Huber and Raymond have already won the Paris, Doha and Dubai titles in February, so whats an extra title!!
“Right now we’re just playing well,” Raymond said. “When we step on the court we feel the other team is going to have to play really well to beat us, whether or not there are tough conditions. We’ve proven that over the past few weeks. And even if anyone ever thinks we’re down and out, we’ll find a way to win.”
“If we’re ever having a bad moment we try to keep it as short as possible,” Huber said. “Like if I’ve made an error or two errors, I know it’s not permanent, just take two minutes, forgive yourself and move on. Just think of the next game.
“Our run has been unbelievable – we’ve come close to losing at times, but we’ve worked very hard, and the hard work has been showing in our great results.”
Congratulations to Sania Mirza who married cricketer Shoaib Malik at a hotel in Hyderabad days after his divorce from another Indian woman, Ayesha Siddique, was brokered by Muslim elders.
Sania Mirza has announced that she will be getting married to former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik on April 11.
Watch her video announcement here. NPR also had a story on how the love across Pakistan-India border can complicate the matters.
Indian right-wing nationalist protesters have already started their protests by burning an effigy of the tennis player in Mumbai on Wednesday.
It has been reported that Indian female tennis star Sania Mirza is now engaged. 22 year old Sania is engaged to Sohrab Mirza, a business scholar from her hometown of Hyderabad.
The 22-year-old Sania, now ranked only 95th in the world, is not planning to stop playing competitive tennis, just as her fiancé wants to pursue higher studies. Their marriage will therefore not take place in the near future.
I also find it a little strange that she is engaged to someone with the same surname, but The Tennis Times wishes them the best of luck.
