Sania Mirza, who hails from India, moves up to a WTA career-high doubles ranking at number 14. This is after their runners-up performance at the popular tennis tournament, the French Open last week.
As a singles player, however, Mirza ranks at number 58. Though this is still an upwards move of 14 places.
Mirza is the most prominent Inidan tennis player on the professional women's circuit.
Born in Mumbai, India on the 15th November, 1986 to Mr. Imran Mirza and Naseema. Mr Imran Mirza was a sports journalist and her mother was associated with the printing industry.
Mirza started playing tennis at the age of 6 years old, which is the age most professional players start their training.
Her coach recognised her talent from an early age.
In 1999 Mirza won bronze at the Asian Games. She has won 21 ITF titles to date, and has reached the 3rd and 4th rounds of major Grand Slams, a feat for many players.
Her most powerful asset is her forehand just like her role model Steffi Graf.
While she doesn't practice hijab, she is a Muslim so let's support the achievements of Muslim women irrespective of what they choose to wear.
