Out of action for a long period with a chronic knee injury and now her first pregnancy, ace Indian player Sania Mirza is hopeful of hitting the tennis court for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n

In a recent interview to Gulf News, former Doubles World No.1 Sania, who is likely to become a mother in October, shared insights of her personal life and her wish to be back on the court before the Olympics.<\/div>\n
“We are still in 2018 and my goal is obviously to try and come back to 2020 Olympics,” Sania said. <\/div>\n
“It’s a realistic goal to set because it will be the end of the year after I have my child,” she added.<\/div>\n
Speaking about herself, the 31-year-old said, “I have not followed the ‘traditional women route’ in my life. I have always been the odd one out and I am glad that I was one.”<\/div>\n
“My parents have always supported all my decisions, so whether I was playing tennis in Hyderabad at a time when nobody dreamed of playing tennis or winning Wimbledon or marrying the person that I loved or having a child after eight years of our marriage, I have always lived life on my own terms,” Sania added.<\/div>\n
Sania further said that Sports has been one of the best teachers in her life.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
