Indian tennis needs a proper system in place: Sania Mirza to India Today

Indian tennis has produced some great players over the years but the frequency at which the players in the country break into the international circuit is something which is a cause for concern.

 

Sania Mirza has been the flag-bearer of women's tennis in India for over a decade now since turning pro way back in 2003.

 

14 years and six Grand Slam doubles title later, the 31-year-old has nothing else to prove to her critics and now she only hopes that Indian tennis gets a proper system in place so that the country produces more talented players like herself in future.

 

"I wish there was one problem that we could pin-point and fix it (in Indian tennis). It is not so simple as that. There are a lot of things that need to fall into place. But the first step is having a system, if I want my child to start playing Tennis. As individual we can only do so much," Sania told India Today's Consulting Editor Boria Majumdar in an exclusive interview.
