Is Sania all hype?

Is Sania all hype? well, you'll have to define "hype" for me before you ask me that question.
Do you mean to say she was expected to do better? (than being ranked under-30 in the world)
If that is the case, it's downright harsh on your part to expect so much. Simply because there hasn't been a precedent to this. That is, there hasn't been an Indian women who has achieved this feat ever before. Had she been born in US, which at any point in time, dominates world tennis by the sheer number of talented players it produces, and been given the same amount of importance by the media then there would have been a case with all the fuss. Just because, we as a country are starved of sportsmen who can compete at the world level, we tend to focus our attention on the handful we have. And when it just happened to be girl with glam looks playing a glam game like tennis, the media is all over her. Mind you, a similar player with similar capabilities in the US could have just gone unnoticed. Just because, the media gives her that kind of attention, you can't say that Sania ought to perform better. It's not her who wants the attention. It's the host of channels who're always looking to create news-makers, who've created the expectation. If that is what you call hype, then you gotta be pointing fingers at the media for it's "hype" and leave the girl alone.
To put it plainly, nobody is being fair to her to even ask the dirty question. Not everybody can be a Sachin in handling pressure (and we know by now that he's human too!). Media hype shouldn't be equated to the expectations. You have to look at the sportsman's game. I hope Sania, and for that matter any of the upcoming youngsters are not bogged down by the pressure of expectations that is unduly mounted on them by the media. I for one am happy she's improved her game so much in the last few years (I honestly doubted she would come this far). Yet she has a mountain to climb in the progress she's got to make if she's got to be among the best in the world.
Let us just be a source of motivation by being an encouraging audience, than a demanding public/media. Hype being a deterrent to talent is the aberration of this century!
