After becoming a mother, it is more challenging to compete at the highest level: Sania Mirza

The Hindu  

"I still have a few more years of tennis left to compete at the top level," said six-time Grand Slam winner Sania Mirza. The 35-year-old champion tennis player, who will be making a record-breaking 53rd Grand Slam appearance for an Indian woman when she competes in the women’s doubles in the 2022 Australian Open, felt that tennis is physically a very demanding sport. In what will be her 15th Australian Open appearance, where she made her debut in 2005 and won the mixed doubles title with Mahesh Bhupathi in 2009 and the women’s doubles title partnering Martina Hingis in 2016, Sania had the rare distinction of even being runner-up in mixed doubles on three more occasions with Bhupathi, Horia Tecau and Ivan Dodig. “It was a pretty good run-up to the Australian Open for Sania having entered the women’s doubles semis with Kichenok in the Adelaide International 2022 before losing to current World No.
