Sania will break into top-10

July 13, 2006

Sania Mirza is yet to attain her peak and could break into the top-10 within two years, Mahesh Bhupathi said in Kolkata on Wednesday.

.Sania is nowhere close to her prime yet. She is now only 19-years-old. Her prime will come after two years,. Bhupathi said at a press meet.

.Then she can break into the top-15 and even top-10,. Bhupathi said. The ace doubles player did not agree that Sania had performed poorly of late.

.She faced an opponent of the calibre of Elena Dementieva in the opening round at Wimbledon. She played well, but her effort fell a wee bit short,. said Bhupathi, whose company Globosport manages the Indian ace. Sania, now ranked 40th in the world, went down to seventh seed Dementieva 6-7 (5) 5-7 in the first round at Wimbledon.
