Sania Mirza, a six-time Grand Slam champion, will bid farewell with two exhibition matches. The first competition will be a rounders match between two teams of actors, cricketers, and tennis players. Sania will lead one of the two teams, while Indian tennis player Rohan Bopanna will lead the other.
The second match featured Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna, as well as Ivan Dodig and Bethanie Mattek-Sands. Sania Mirza has previously worked with Bopanna, Dodig, and Sands.
Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna have been teammates for many years and finished fourth in mixed doubles at the 2016 Rio Olympics. The pair reached the finals of the Australian Open earlier this year, which was the ace tennis star’s final Grand Slam appearance.
Sania Mirza is without a doubt the most accomplished female tennis player in India. During her brilliant career spanning nearly two decades, she won 44 WTA championships (43 in doubles and one in singles), and she was also the World No. 1 in women’s doubles WTA rankings at the time.
Her most recent doubles victory came in 2021, when she teamed up with China’s Zhang Shuai at the Ostrava Open in the Czech Republic. Many celebrities, including Bollywood and Tollywood stars, are expected to attend Sania Mirza’s farewell gala.
