Why is Ritwik not as big as Sania?

Sania Mirza might be world number 34 in tennis but here's our very own Bengali lad, 25-year-old Ritwik Bhattacharya who is world number 62 in a similar game and that's squash. Despite his achievements, it’s Sania who's hogged the limelight and Ritwik is only revered by sports freaks.
"Had I been a tennis player of the same rank as I am now, then I would have been driving a Ferrari and would have been definitely more famous," he says

----Pity, Indian Media don't realize that there are other sport persons too who deserve same treatment as Sania.

ritwik has now been ranked 54 and saurav is not too far behind on 64 in the world rankings. however world over squashplayers get a fraction of the tennis player earings. in the end lets look at it as a sport and not a business.
