World Ranking 33
Mirza is India's first female tennis star and she has been busy writing history for her nation during her short career. She became the first Indian winner on the WTA Tour in 2005 when she won in her home city of Hyderbad, but the attention of millions has also brought controversy her way. Most notably she has been criticised in her homeland for her 'too revealing' outfits. Has only just returned to the tour following a wrist injury so asking her to write more history in SW19 isn't very realistic.
