Tennis star Sania Mirza returned home after cutting short the last-leg of her schedule for the year as she pulled her stomach muscle in the quarterfinal against Flavia Pennetta in Japan two weeks ago.
“With the specific objective of finishing in the top 25 of the world rankings and thereby getting a direct seeding in next year’s Australian Open, Sania played on despite considerable discomfort in the Moscow and the Zurich Opens. But the injury seemed to be getting worse without the much-needed rest,” Imran Mirza, father of Sania, said.
Consequently, Sania had to pull out of the Austrian and the Canadian events scheduled in the next two weeks.
More importantly, the Hyderabad tennis sensation will be playing in the Hopman Cup in Perth from December 30 along with Rohan Bopanna.
However, this means that she will have to miss a WTA world ranking tournament which will take place around that time. — Principal Correspondent.
