The US Open media reps are just going goo-goo gaa-gaa over Sania Mirza. After all the exposure that I have talked about that Sania has gotten on TV, read this “news article” on usopen.org.

Notable quotes:

Top-seed Sharapova reached the fourth round for the first time, blasting past German Julia Schruff, 6-2, 6-4.

The tall Russian with tremendous Q-quality will meet a personality laden 19-year-old who may someday steal her mantle in the form of India’s Sania Mirza. Mirza became the first Indian woman to reach the fourth round of a Grand Slam when she bullied France’s Marion Bartoli, 7-6, 6-4.

Sharapova and Mirza have never faced off, but fans will be busting down the gates to see this match-up between two teens who not only can belt the ball but are widely considered two of the most popular players on the planet.

“It’s gonna be another tough one. I haven’t really seen much of how she plays,” Sharapova said. “I heard she’s got a big and powerful game. It’s hard to predict things, but I’m sure it’s going to be a good match."
