Hyderabad: Tennis sensation Sania Mirza expresses confidence over her fitness levels, barring a minor problem with her wrist and hopes to have a good season ahead despite her fall in rankings.

"My fitness levels are fine now. Only that I have some problem with my wrist as it hurts on and off", Sania told reporters during a promotional programme here Friday (15 Sep, 2006).

Sania, the solitary WTA titleholder in the country, says she has matured as a player now and is working hard on some grey areas of her game.

"Earlier, I only had a (good) forehand. Now I have the entire game with me so is also the competition getting tougher," Sania, who slips to 70 in the world ranking due to not so impressive recent performances, says.

Brushing aside the talk of the form, the former Wimbledon junior doubles champion says, "In the game there are going to be ups and downs. The rankings go up and come down. I am concerned about my game and I am enjoying playing it." Sania says she does not feel that her form is as bad as being projected by the media.

"I am enjoying the game. There is bound to be some ebb and flow. Two years back no one expected me to break into world top 50. I may or may not win a Grand Slam even but still I enjoy the game," she says.
