HYDERABAD: Sania Mirza returned home after cutting short the last-leg of her schedule for the year after 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. — Principal Correspondent
