KOLKATA: Indian tennis sensation Sania Mirza, who is out with a troublesome wrist, is confident of playing in the Commonwealth Games, beginning October 3 in New Delhi.

The Times of India has reported that Sania, who complained of an old wrist problem during her first round loss in Dubai Tennis Championships last month, will be out of action for six weeks.

"I will surely play Commonwealth Games and I am preparing for it. But for the next six weeks I would not be able to play and practice due to my injury. Let me recover from my injury, then I will start playing," said Sania while attending a press meet in Kolkata.

Sania was in town to inaugurate a tennis academy in Pailan World School here.

Sania also congratulated the Indian hockey team for their fabulous performance in the opening match of the Hockey World Cup.

"The hockey team has done a fantastic job. I saw the first half of Indian and Pakistan hockey match and it was really exciting," she said.

For instance, words like credit appraisal, underwriting, and loan-to-value are common terms used by lenders before disbursal of loans. Here we describe these terms. 1. Credit appraisal: This is the process which determines the credit worthiness of a borrower. It is a part of the verification process wherein officers from the loan provider verify details like your employer, your income, number of dependents, your loan history and review documents such as your your bank statements and salary slips.
