Marion Bartoli has been ranked as high as nine in the world, and she earned a place in the 2007 Wimbledon final by beating world number one Justine Henin. But she only took up tennis because she was bored! The 24-year-old Frenchwoman, who in 2005 won the doubles title in Pattaya with Germany's Anna-Lena Groenefeld, never set out to be a tennis professional. She was very smart at school and succeeded in the game simply because she liked the challenge. School work came so easily to her than she felt she needed something else to stretch her, and tennis filled the role. Especially when some of those she knew told her she couldn't be any good at sports.

We caught up with Sanaa Bhambri, a young Indian Tennis player to know a little more about her game. Following are the questions posted by TheSportsCampus.com, which Sanaa answered earnestly.

How easy was it to turn pro and what is the procedure to do so?

Where are you currently training?
Sanaa: I am currently training in Sirifort Complex, New Delhi. Read more...
