Globosport, the sports management division of Mahesh Bhupathi's Globo Media Solutions, has signed Shikha and Neha Uberoi, young tennis players of Indian origin.

Globosport will manage Shikha and Neha in collaboration with SFX Sports Group, one of the world's leading sports management companies that currently manages athletes like Andre Agassi and Andy Roddick.

Speaking about the signing, Globosport Managing Director Bhupathi said, "I am often asked who will succeed Leander and me. I believe it will be Sania Mirza, Neha and Shikha Uberoi. Their talent and discipline will surely put India on the map of international women's tennis."

Twenty- year-old Shikha (world singles ranking 185), the older of the two sisters made headlines during the US Open when she beat top 100 singles player Saori Obata from Japan and even gave Venus Williams a tough fight in the next round.

Neha (world singles ranking 345), at 18, has many titles to her name including the Luxilon Cup 2004. She also won a wild card for the Wimbledon girls' main draw 2004 and the Nasdaq-100 Open 2005 based on her scintillating performances this year.
