I used to go swimming and passed the tennis courts every day, and that's how it started.

I miss singles terribly, but it is a choice I make because I don't feel I am good enough anymore. I don't want to be 100 odd in the world and still play for the heck of it. Sania Mirza anymorechoicefeel Change image and share on social
Not many people know, but my joints are extremely hypermobile, and that's why I'm more prone to injuries. That's why most of my major injuries were with the joints.

I don't think I'm old enough or experienced enough to give anyone any guidance. All I would like say is that as long as you're having fun, I think you're doing the right thing. Sania Mirza experiencefungive Change image and share on social
Professional tennis has become an extremely physical and unbelievably competitive sport. Injuries are the bane of tennis players, and it goes with the territory. Sania Mirza banecompetitiveextremely Change image and share on social
