We can win!!

It’s been a good day for Indian sports fraternity yesterday. Hmm, Long time since I heard anything like that!! Here’s why…

Hyderabad tennis Chick Sania Mirza makes it to the fourth round of US open. She is the first Indian to enter the fourth round of the US Open. Awesome. She beat 43rd-ranked Frenchwoman Marion Bartoli 7-6, 6-4 in straight sets. Although, she meets world #2 Maria Sherapova in the next round and almost no hopes of winning against her, its kind of feels nice to see an Indian reach this heights. Great going Sania!!

Also, Indian Boys Paes and Bhupathi won their own battles in the same competition.
Paes and veteran American Martina Navratilova brushed aside the challenge from unseeded French pair of Tatiana Golovin and Fabrice Santoro 7-6 (7-1), 7-6 (10-8) to move into the second round. Bhupathi and Daniel Hantuchova defeated Chinese Tian Tian Sun and her Swedish partner Simon Aspelin 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (11-9)

Kaif leading the way with his unbeaten century and also shewag’s swashbuckling 45 off 34 balls helped India win comfortably. Good to know that India are on a winning path after a long time. Hope this is first of many wins.

Finally, India wins a gold in little discussed 16th Asian Athletic Championships. Soma Biswas won India’s first gold medal at the 16th Asian Athletic Championships, triumphing in the heptathlon event on the second day of the competitions on Friday. Also, India won only one other medal on the day, a bronze through Krishna Poonia in the women’s discus.
