anammshaikhh's review against another edition
3.0
Really amazing story of young Indian girl's story of grit and determination to become World No. 1 in tennis. Inspiring read but there were a lot of technical details which a lot of people unfamiliar with tennis may find redundant.

A nice book about Sania Mirza. beautifully written. Just loved it.
Edited:
This was the first autobiography that I have read by any sportsperson. And to tell you the truth, I loved this.
We all love all the focus these sports persons get, we also want to be like them or at least achieve the glamour they receive but what we all overlook is the struggle and effort they put into their performance.
Sania Mirza was one of my favorite sports person but after reading this book I come to know more about her life, her childhood, her struggles and the controversies which followed her throughout her career.
I loved the frank and open way in which she had expressed her life in the book. There are not much Tennis terms which I would not understand, thus even not being deeply into sports I found that i could connect to the book.
The language is easy to read and expresses the incidents that she wanted to convey perfectly. her struggles of childhood and the controversies that attached themselves to Sania has been discussed openly which only added to my respect towards her.
Her bonding with her husband, Shoaib Malik, is so cute and her faith towards her country is unquestionable. Just because she is a woman, she has faced several controversies regarding her dress up and appearances. Still she fought against all those odds and gave her best to us, to India.
She is an idol to follow, not only in game but also in life.
