When you own life is so unpredictable, let alone sports. May be this is what Indian tennis sensationSania Mirza wishes to convey as on Friday she refused to make predictions on how many medals country's tennis players will win at the upcoming London Olympic Games.
However, at the same time she has promised that they will give their best shot. "I think it's unfair to put a number (on medals). As it is, all of us are under pressure going to the London Olympics. We can't promise a medal but will give our hundred per cent," said Sania.
Sania will be taking part in the women's doubles with Rushmi Chakravarti and mixed doubles with Leander Paes in the Games, commencing July 27. Asked about India's chances in the Games, Sports Minister Ajay Maken said it is not appropriate for him to predict the country's medal haul in the quadrennial sports spectacle.
"I would not like to say anything on this because it would be unfair as already we have qualified in large numbers. Last time around 50 people had qualified (for Beijing in 2008), and this time 81 have qualified," he observed.
Well, we just hope, as Sania said, the players give their best shot at London, else depends on their luck!
We can't promise a medal but will give our hundred per cent, says Sania Mirza!
