Sania takes centre-stage

London: It will be another feather in Sania Mirza's cap when she takes on Svetlana Kuznetsova of Russia in the second round in Wimbledon on Wednesday as the match is scheduled to be played on the Centre Court, the most famous tennis court in the world.

The match will be the second on the centre court, following the one between Marat Safin and Mark Philippoussis, which begins at 5.30 p.m. IST.

"It must be really exciting for her. I hope she does well," said Mahesh Bhupathi.

Mahesh's own chances of doing well in the men's doubles event in the company of Todd Woodbridge of Australia has come under an injury cloud.

The multiple Grand Slam doubles champion has battled a lower back problem for the last few days.

"I am keeping my fingers crossed. As of now I am playing. But I don't know how well the back will hold up. I have only played for 45 minutes in practice," said Mahesh. "I am hitting the ball well though."
