Sania Mirza receives heartfelt messages from Dia Miriza, Anil Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh as she bids adieu to her Grand Slam career
Tennis champion, Sania Mirza, gave a moving farewell speech to mark the end of her Grand Slam career. Several people in the film industry were touched by her words. Sania received heartfelt comments from everyone, including Dia Mirza and Riteish Deshmukh, as she sobbed in her post-match interview after losing the Australian Open mixed doubles final on Friday in Melbourne.
Sania had tears in her eyes as she commenced her speech, “If I cry, these are happy tears. I don’t want to take away the moment from Matos-Stefani who have deserved this. I’m still going to play a couple more tournaments but my career started in Melbourne in 2005 when I played Serena as an 18-year-old. I have had the privilege of coming back here again and again and win tournaments here and play some great finals here. Rod Laver Arena has been really special life. I couldn’t think of a better arena to finish my last Grand Slam.”
Sania’s friend Dia Mirza, who is also from Hyderabad, tweeted a message of support for her. She wrote, “Dearest Sania, watching you play as a child in Nizam Club, to becoming the Champ that you are has been an inspiration and privilege. Congratulations on making girls stronger everywhere. Keep doing good, keep shining. Onwards and upwards.”
