The fairer sex is indeed fair
Sania Mirza into the fourth round of U.S. Open/ Mahesh Bhupathi wins U.S. Open mixed doubles title.
Indian Newspaper stuck to the "Sania Mania" cliche and relegated Mahesh Bhupathi to a small pix and an even smaller news item in a corner of the sports page, while Sania got away with realms of newsprint.
Still worse, post match analysis, interviews with tennis coaches and quotes from WTA tour biggies dominated the days to come.
With the way things are shaping Mahesh Bhupathi will be remembered as Sania's agent/ promotional manager rather than a doubles champion with seven grand slam titles up his sleeve.
Amen!

Interestingly, the day Sania won our own Anju Bobby George won a gold at an international event. She, too, was relegated to a brief on Page One of many newspapers!

Indian media does have selective amnesia. They are perpetually on the look out for pin-up idols in a country starved of stars. So, before Sania it was Narain Karthikeyan. The moment media saw he couldn't break beyond the 18/19th position, they shifted their attention. Now, at times F1 coverage is given a total miss. Sad.
It's business man. They sell only what you buy.
