HYDERABAD, India – Of all of the trailblazers in the history of women’s tennis, not many have blazed a trail bigger than Sania Mirza, who has become the first Indian woman to do everything from break the Top 50 to reach No.1 and go from winning WTA titles to the biggest of them all, the Grand Slams.

And the greatest aspect of Mirza’s legacy? She started from very, very humble beginnings.

The Hyderabad native recently sat down with CNN Open Court and discussed a wide variety of topics, including how she went from learning the game on courts made of cow manure to winning on the legendary lawns of Wimbledon; the pride she feels for bringing her success back to India; her tennis academy, which is already booming; and doubles partner Martina Hingis, who’s interviewed too.
