Wedding bells for sania mirza

HYDERABAD: Tennis ace Sania Mirza will get married to Sohrab Mirza of Hyderabad in the near future, Sania’s family confirmed after the news was broken by the media, here on Friday.

The exact date is yet to be finalised. The two families, although having the same surname, are not related but have known each other for several years.

The 23-year-old Sohrab, son of a businessman, is pursuing MBA.

The 22-year-old Sania became the first Indian woman to win a WTA tour title and break into the World’s top 50 in 2005. But thereafter, she has been plagued by injuries and fluctuating form.

However, she fought her way back and was able to win the Australian Open mixed doubles title along with Mahesh Bhupathi earlier this year.

The family has also confirmed that the marriage plans will not affect Sania’s tennis career and that she will continue to play in all major tournaments even after marriage.
