Mahesh praises Mirza after flag controvery

Indian tennis sensation Sania Mirza has handled her off-court woes with great maturity and is on track for a spot in the world’s top 20, multiple grand-slam champion Mahesh Bhupathi said. Bhupathi said he was full of praise for his compatriot for the way she has dealt with accusations she disrespected her national flag.

"It’s very unfortunate what’s going on," Bhupathi said. "It’s one random human being, who I don’t think anyone really wants to deal with, but I guess that’s the price to pay for being popular, doing what you do, doing it for the country."

"So be it, we’ll deal with it. She’s done a great job (in coping). I didn’t expect her to pull through two matches, especially her second one, when she was down and out and she found a way to win.

"She is mentally very tough and she showed that this week again." Sania is the subject of a court summons in Bhopal.
