Indian tennis star Sania Mirza explains the reasons for her decision to retire.
Speaking on the program "Cricket Corner with Saleem Khaliq" on Pakistan Cricket's largest website www.cricketpakistan.com.pk, Sania Mirza said that considering various factors, I have decided to retire at the end of this year. What's more, I'm 35 years old, I had 2 or 3 surgeries, the birth of a baby also affected my body, now it is a little difficult to refresh after sports activities.
Sania said that Azlan is still a child, he has not been vaccinated against corona, traveling with him in a plane is not without danger, the decision to retire was not easy for me, If I start, I can change my mind. However, tennis has been a long journey of 19 years, I am very happy with what I have achieved during this time.
"Retirement is always sad, but it's a fact of life, at some point the game has to be called off, I've been playing tennis since I was 6, it's an important part of my life," she said. Even if she says goodbye, she will somehow be involved in sports, she will have time to focus on her academy.
On the reaction of husband Shoaib Malik to the decision of retirement, she said that no one including my parents knew that I was going to make such a decision, so everyone was surprised, however Shoaib supports my every decision, we Respecting each other's opinions, we are both professional athletes and well aware of the extent to which the body is capable of accepting challenges.
Continuing the game in BioBull is a tough challenge
Sania Mirza said that it is a great challenge to continue playing in the bio-bill. In tennis, the bubbles were eliminated a year ago. It also made it a little easier. It was very difficult to be limited physically and mentally, in cricket the bio-bubble is still running, people have no idea how big a challenge it is to play and perform in these conditions, keeping the players physically and mentally fit. There is a lot of pressure to perform as expected.
Shoaib can play 2 years, for example, for others in terms of fitness
Sania Mirza said that Shoaib Malik is an example for others in terms of fitness. He always worked hard to prepare himself for the challenges in cricket. He is fortunate that his body is still very good. His attitude towards living a healthy life is an example to others, he can play cricket for 2 more years.
She said that she always got a lot of love in Pakistan, I wanted to watch PSL matches but the tennis tournament is starting in Dubai from February 14, son Azlan has to go to school too, with families in PSL. Not even allowed to stay but I have always enjoyed my stay and matches in Pakistan.
After marriage, Shoaib does not want to take credit for the change in the country
Sania Mirza has said that she does not want to take credit for the change in Shoaib Malik after marriage. Yes, if you think about marriage in a lavish way today, laughter comes. In both the countries, we used to get a lot of love.
We are good friends of Wahab and Imam
Sania Mirza said that my oldest friendship is with Wahab Riaz, there is good gossip from his wife too, Imam-ul-Haq is younger in age but he gets better than that Salman Iqbal has become good friends, Babar Azam and Emad Wasim are also good friends.
It is very difficult for stars to keep their child hidden from the media
Sania Mirza said that we did not allow anyone to see the face of their son for 6 months but it is very difficult for the stars to keep their child hidden from the media. If both mother and father are stars then pictures are made everywhere There was a flight at Lahore airport at 6 in the morning but the media was there, the child was sleeping, it was difficult to hide the mind from the photographers Mom i'm scared
"You must have seen how difficult it is for Kohli and Anushka Sharma to hide their daughter's face from the photographers. They are doing this very well but it becomes very difficult," she said. As we have chosen this life, not the child but many fans insist on taking a picture with him. It is my duty as a mother to protect my son from this.
I have no intention of coming to showbiz but nothing is impossible in life
Sania Mirza has said that Shoaib can't talk about Malik but I have no intention of appearing in showbiz. I don't have the courage required to appear in front of the camera for acting. I have a future but nothing is impossible in life, Shoaib Malik and I always try to discover something from new experiences, launched perfume which was a great experience, will start shooting chat show next month We were talking to 1,2 people for biopack but everything is slowing down due to Corona, hopefully more progress will be made in this regard soon.
Kapil has an old friendship with Sharma
Sania Mirza said, "I have an old friendship with comedian Kapil Sharma. I have a good sense of humor. If I go to his show, we will talk to each other. He is not only a good friend but also a good person." Shoaib Malik and I have very few fights that do not talk to each other, sometimes they get serious but usually they keep the atmosphere pleasant with their humor. Shoaib Malik and I are both under a lot of pressure during the game. Face it, so try to make life easier.
No matter what discourages you, don't give up on dreaming
Sania Mirza gave a message to the girls that even if someone discourages them, don't stop dreaming big. Whenever a girl wants to become something, she is told that you can't do it. Can't go back to tennis, you will always be told that it can't happen, don't let anyone break your dreams because that's the most important thing in life.
Son, who plays cricket with a tennis racket, is more interested in football
Sania Mirza has said that her son Azlan is currently playing cricket with a tennis racket but he is more interested in football. Anyway, at least he didn't go down without explaining himself first.
