Expect the unexpected!!

The Asian Games 2010 has had quite a few surprises!!! Firstly, India winning a bronze in gymnastics and then another medal in swimming!! This was a first medal for both those events and this is just an indication that with perseverance, anything is possible. I remember the gymnastics team training in Pune when our tennis team was there for a selection camp. They were so focussed and very organized and I am glad their hard work paid off.
In tennis, Sania has returned to phenomenal form. I saw her play a final in Stanford 3 years ago. She is hitting the ball the way she did when she stormed into the final of that Tier 1 WTA event. Though she lost a close encounter to Akgul Ammanadurova from Uzbekistan in semis, if she continues to strike the ball this well, I will not put the top 30 past her in the next few months.
Somdev;s run into the doubles final and singles semi-final is good news as well. Somdev is just so solid, that he wears his opponents down. His doubles run is definetely a small surprise, but a welcome one!!
Sadly, there is still no system to find the next Sania Mirza. All this takes is one person up on top wanting it as much as I do! Then things can change dramatically, but then this is India we are talking about. Change doesn't happen at all and if it does, it's too slow!!!!!Oh well...this is for another day!!
