Sania Mirza Kolkata, September 16: Indian tennis sensation Sania Mirza will receive extra security after an Islamic group opposed to her on-court dress threatened to stop her from playing in next week's WTA event, police said on Friday.


Muslim clergymen have denounced the 18-year-old player for wearing skimpy skirts and colourful sleeveless tops on court, which they say are un-Islamic.

The teenager has emerged as one of India's most visible sporting icons following a sensational year in which she has climbed to 34 in the WTA world rankings.

Can you believe this folks? :rolleyes:

I can. The Muslims go crazy over stuff like this. Why don't they just denounce her and leave the girl alone? Actually as I understand it, the conservative attire the Muslim women wear is to prevent men from looking at them as sex objects.
