Tokyo 2020: I am in my 30s and I'm still here, says Sania Mirza on competing in her 4th Olympics
India Today‘Who’s the next Sania Mirza?’ For the better part of the last decade, Indian tennis has desperately tried to answer this question. Sania Mirza, 34, will become the first female athlete to represent India at four Olympics when she competes at Tokyo 2020, slated to get underway on July 23. After giving birth to her first child, Izhaan, in 2018, Sania Mirza made a winning comeback in January last year as she won the Hobart International WTA event. Mirza, who had teamed up with Sunitha Rao at Beijing 2008, Rushmi Chakravarthi at London 2012 and Prarthana Thombare at Rio 2016, will play with India’s highest-ranked doubles player Ankita Raina. She spent some time with me right before the Billie Jean King Cup,” said Sania Mirza, who had also helped the Indian women’s team reach the Playoffs of the Billie Jean King Cup for the very first time.
