Sania Mirza Retirement: On Wednesday, Indian Tennis Star, Sania Mirza announced her retirement plans after defeat in the first round of women’s doubles at the Australian Open 2022.

The 35-year-old after her match said: "There's a few reasons for it. It's not as simple as 'okay I'm not going to play'. I do feel my recovery is taking longer, I'm putting my 3-year-old son at risk by travelling so much with him, that's something I have to take into account. I think my body is wearing down. My knee was really hurting today and I'm not saying that's the reason we lost but I do think that it is taking time to recover as I'm getting older."
