Sania Mirza still doubtful about her wrist
“I am playing in Hobart, then I am playing the Australian Open. I am planning to play a tournament in Mumbai, which is a USD 25,000 ITF women event next month. But I am 50-50 about it, so let’s see how my wrist behaves. We will see, but Hobart and Australian Open for sure,” Mirza said at a press conference.
The 33-year-old also suggested that there are a lot of changes when you have a baby. She revealed that her routine and sleep pattern has changed. However, she now feels fit as her body is where it used to be before she had the baby.

“I have been there three times and last time we were unlucky to not win a medal,” Sania recalled. “If I am able to put myself in that position to able to compete at the Olympics again for the fourth time in my life, I would be really honoured and privileged. I have got three slams before the Olympics and for me, it’s the week-to-week and day-to-day.”
Sania Mirza, who last played at China Open in October 2017, will team up with Ukraine’s Nadiia Kichenok in Hobart. On the other hand, she will partner American Rajeev Ram for the mixed doubles at the 2020 Australian Open.
