Sania Mirza
March 6, 2009
The highest ranked Indian female tennis player ever (as high as number 27 in singles and 18 in doubles), the first Indian woman to be seeded in a Grand Slam tournament, the first Indian woman to make it to the fourth round of a Grand Slam tournament -- and she's only 22! Sania changed the face of Indian tennis and has created an identity for herself at par with some of the most famous sports personalities in the world. She turned professional at 18 and is probably India's best-known female sports personality. Way to go!
Life lesson from Sania:
Strive to break not only others' records, but your own too.
