Sania Mirza, India’s first junior Wimbledon champion, was the first Goodwill Ambassador for the campaign. The move was aimed at gender sensitization. She is the first Indian to win a WTA Tour title of any kind; and, by winning the 2009 Australian Open – Mixed Doubles Event, she became the third Indian, male or female, to win a Grand Slam title (the first two being Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes).
