(Question for Indian Sports fans) Why is the Media so biased towards Sania Mirza?
Sania wins a first round match and it becomes the headlines for 2 days, are female reporters biased? I don’t understand why is she so popular, I’ve never seen her win a single match. In fact our football team wins more matches, but they never get any mention?
I’m not Indian but all countries are biased on their own players. We are biased to Hewitt and Mark Webber when it comes to sport and In India Mirza is because she is the highest ranking female tennis player that is Indian
Wrong section…juz kidding
Its becoz shes a hot chick and Indians just love them…the football stars are all pretty ugly(no offence)….but yeah sad truth
Looks matters. And also the popularity of the sports is an important thing.
I personally feel that Sania Mirza has not achieved anything, but there was a lot of hype.
Consider Saina Nehwal, who broke into the top ten of Badminton. She has won tournaments and beaten the best players around. Yet she is not as famous as Sania Mirza.
I kinda agree with you. Although it’s important for us Indians to see that there is also life beyond cricket. But…Sania Mirza has become an Item now…….guys drool over mini skirts and she is linked with many movie actors. It’s sad to see that our news channels have fallen so low.
because she is the only hope for India in tennis.
She is a sports icon for girls.
Has many fans. She is young and attractive as also a good player/
Now we also have Saina Nehwal.
She started getting attention since the Olympics.
Unfortunately Badmintin does not get so much Worldwide attention as Tennis does.
