I thought they were both American citizens, but her bio has Indian flag.

No, just one of them was American..I think it was Neha...Shikha is still Indian

I remember when she played Venus!

Her wiki bio says she is American citizen. See my post above.

Btw. these Uberoi´s sisters are bit crazy...they are 5 sisters, 2 of them are representing India, 3 of them USA...there are twins - Nikita and Nimita: Nikita is representing USA but Nimita India...and..they have all different birthplaces...except Nimita and Nikita i guess:sobbing:

I remember when she played Venus!
Wasn't there a heart warning story where they also travel together?

I remember Shikha

Her wiki bio says she is American citizen. See my post above.

ITF says Shikha is representing India and she was playing 8 tournaments this year

She is a naturalized American citizen who represents India :shrug:

Your post above says she has not played a match this season (she has played several ITF tournaments) and that she has no ranking (she is in the 600's) :tape:

It is not my post per se, it is a quote from WTA. I guess they were referring to WTA tour events

I know you have put the text in quotes

Thank you for the correction

Uberoi overpowered by Venus Williams



http://www.sepiamutiny.com/sepia/images/ShikhaUberoi.jpg Following up on Anna’s post (http://www.sepiamutiny.com/sepia/archives/000324.html), Shikha Uberoi lost her second-round U.S. Open match (http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/03/sports/tennis/03tennis.html?ex=1251864000&en=c71538a5d9199e3a&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland) to Venus Williams yesterday, 7-5, 6-1, after sprinting to a 4-1 lead in the first set. The match was hard-fought (http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/sfl-bricker04sep04,0,7890823.column?coll=sfla-sports-headlines):Shikha Uberoi of Boca Raton won a lot of new fans with her super-aggressive play against Venus Williams in the second round.. Her coach, Rick Macci, tutored the Williams sisters for four years…As fellow Palm Beach County players, Uberoi and Williams are acquaintances. On 9/11, their local airport was in lockdown, so Williams gave Uberoi and her sister Neha a limo ride home. A grateful Uberoi invited Williams in for some home-cooked bhindi (http://www.indianexpress.com/full_story.php?content_id=54453):Shikha invited her to dine with the family. ‘‘And guess what: she agreed. She loved Indian food, bhindi masala particularly, so we called Mom and asked her to make that.’’Despite having shared bhindi, a near-sacred bond in Punjabi culture equalled only by sharing makhi di roti and sarson da saag (http://www.hindu.com/thehindu/mp/2002/05/27/stories/2002052700950200.htm), Williams had to take down her young rival at tournament time. All’s fair in love and tennis.

Uberoi is a cousin of Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi (http://www.vij.com/archive/camping_while_brown.html).

She achieved 'great heights'? :spit:

Shikha was american... I think she gave up the american citizen to be indian ;) ( to be able to play in fed cup). Neha is still american :wavey:

oh, i thought this was about agnieska radwanska :o

I don't think she gave up her citizenship since she still lives here.That would be silly especially to go through the difficult immigration process all over again. Besides, she was never a good player--why give up your citizenship just to play for India?

Well ``just to play for india'' also had other perks like sponsors, some advertisements etc.. I think so because India recently had a law passed that the player should be an Indian citizen. I think Shikha played for india after that so I think she did take indian citizenship :shrug: I am not sure though. She hasnt been in news for a long time :lol:

She said she reached the Top 100 but according to Wiki she hasnt...

Can you say backgound check to verify the claims made the interview??:lol:

http://www.sonyericssonwtatour.com/page/Player/Stats/0,,12781~8560,00.html

yep, lying bitch :o
unless she meant doubles :help:

"I was top 100 in the world and reached great heights. I know what it is to be a celebrity."

:spit: :hysteric:

Icon?!?!

The 'great heights' and 'celebrity' comments she made were quite hilarious. I mean, come on dude...

But having said that, I actually enjoyed watching her play when I had the chance at AO qualies a few years back. She was a pretty decent player, but was never (ever) going to be a force. She got to 120 in singles and about 80ish in doubles. Not a bad career, but certainly not the lofty heights an unsuspecting non-tennis fan may think after watching her audition video.

She's still plugging away in ITFs in the states, so perhaps her dreams of becoming the next Oprah may have to wait. I don't think she's quite serious about her tennis these days, but good luck to her with whatever she chooses to do :)

The Top 100 is a perfect example of manipulating the truth :p
She also said she knows what it's like to be a celebrity, not that she was one. Maybe she meant that she met many players that actually are celebrities ;)
