Imran's insight of Sania Mirza's career

The Hindu  

Pressure may be a privilege in the world of sports. "Parental pressure can destroy a person," said Imran, who has been the coach of Sania on the professional Tour for more than 20 years. "Under pressure in a match, Sania always came out firing," said Imran, emphasising the importance of allowing the talent to play free, without the worry of winning, at an early stage. We knew, she would not be able to emulate that," said Imran, reasoning the family’s decision to focus on doubles, which has seen Sania win six Grand Slam titles and stay as world No.1 for a long time. "We believed that playing early on the professional tour would help her play against the top players," said Imran, even as he pointed out that Sania had won national under-14 and under-16 titles when she was 12.
