Bengaluru, Jan. 20:
Indian tennis sensation Sania Mirza announced that she will hang up her ‘golden’ racquet at the end of the 2022 season. This has shocked both tennis and Sania fans.

“There’s a bunch of reasons for it. I do feel my recovery is taking longer and considering my son is three years old, I do feel I am putting him at risk by travelling so much with him. Unfortunately the pandemic is making us take certain decision for the well-being of ourself and family,” Mirza said.

The 35-year-old Hyderabad successful female tennis player Sania secured three Grand Slam titles with Swiss tennis star Martina Hingis.

The tennis icon is married to former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik. Her marriage had created ripples then but however, it is history now.
