Sania eyeing a comeback by year end

India's tennis star Sania Mirza is planning to make a return to the game by year end following the birth of her baby.

The 32-year-old had last played at the China Open in October, 2017 where she suffered a knee injury and was out of competition in early part of last year.

In October, last year Sania had delivered a baby boy and the Indian ace said she now wants to return to the game and would start her training soon.

"Realistic possibility for comeback is by the end of the year," she said in an interaction at The Huddle held by The Hindu, here.

"My conditioning trainer is coming in the next ten days. Now that I have lost weight, I do tennis specific training.

"I am 32 years old, I am not so young as a tennis player. But I would die if I did not try. Tennis is my life, it has given me everything. I still have it in me."
"She is the greatest player. She married and had kids and achieved many things in life despite it."
Talking about favourite player, Sania said, "I will go with John McEnroe because he had personality. I don't smash rackets, but it is fun to watch others do that."
