'I love Dubai and every time I've come here, I've emptied my purse'

Dubai: Former world No 1 Martina Hingis uncovered several weaknesses in Indian tennis star Sania Mirza's game when she beat her in straight sets on Tuesday.

However, the popular Indian player revealed she had an even bigger weakness off the court that she happens to be a compulsive shopper!

"I love Dubai and every time I've come here, I've emptied my purse," Mirza said late on Tuesday night.

The Indian, who comes from a country where only a few are as fortunate as her, financially, said she was impatient to go out and shop. "I am looking forward to that [shopping]," she said.

The Indian teenager, who endorses just about every product back home stated that she had not decided what she wanted from here. "It's about everything from clothes and bags ? everything girlie you know," she smiled.

"And, something for my family as well."

However, with a scheduled doubles match later yesterday evening, Mirza knew she had to control her urge for one more day.

"I guess there's no shopping for me tomorrow," she said.
