PUNAM REDDY: I first heard of her when I was a young girl, and then we used to discuss her career often. But to meet her in flesh and blood here in Hyderabad…I wouldn’t know what to ask her. Given her fitness levels, I’d rather get a close look while she’s working out or playing. I’m looking forward to that.

SHRUTI DHAWAN: I’m a Steffi Graff fan but I still want to meet Martina. The one question I’d like to ask her is what she does for fitness. That’s something we should learn to survive on the circuit

ARCHANA VENKATRAMAN: I’m not too keen on meeting her but I’d like to see her workout schedule and probably implement it in some way when she plays. Most of the women players retire at 28, I would like to see where I am at 48 and see if I can do the same. Would I be able to last?

SHIKHA UBEROI: I’ve already met her on tour, she’s a very great person. There was one time in Australia when she allowed me to watch her practice. It’s amazing if you see her, the effort, the seriousness — more so when you look at her age. It’s really an education for youngsters

SONAL PHADKE: I’ve seen her practice, I want to get her autograph. That’s if I bump into her. I’d love to meet her but I have a train to catch (she lost on the first day)
