Mirza wins; leaving tour in two years?

BIRMINGHAM, England (AP)—Indian tennis star Sania Mirza suggests she may
have only two more years on tour after winning her first match on Monday
since marrying Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik.

Despite twin distractions of a high-profile wedding and a persistent wrist
injury, Mirza played with remarkable assertiveness to beat rising young
Taiwanese Chan Yung-Jan 6-1, 6-4, in the first round of the Aegon Classic.

Mirza spoke positively about being separated so soon from Shoaib, and for a
lengthy period of time.

“The distance between us is difficult. But we will be together for life
hopefully, so two years isn’t long,” she said.

“Marriage is something which happens to everyone at some point. It’s just
if you want to wait to finish your career or to get married now.

“For me, marriage is personal and tennis is professional. It’s two separate
things so it doesn’t feel like a distraction.”

Mirza said the best she can do with her injury was to contain it, which made
the win over Chan—only her second in a mere seven matches all year—in this
Wimbledon warmup event all the sweeter.

“I was just happy to be competing and happy to be out there and feeling
healthy,” said the player who became the first Indian woman either to win a
WTA Tour title or to capture a Grand Slam title (with Mahesh Bhupathi in the
Australian Open mixed doubles).

“When you come back after a long time and have a win it’s good for your
confidence.”

Up until 6-1, 3-0, Mirza hardly struck a shot wrong, connecting with the ball
as cleanly as though she had never been away from the tour.

On the softish grass this enabled her to strike winner after winner, but when
she tried to hurry things along her progress slowed.

It brought two double faults to cause her to drop her service game, after
which Chan, ranked 83 in the world, began playing more like a player with top
50 ambitions and rallied to 5-4 down.

But when it came to closing out the match Mirza made no mistake, delivering
two solid first serves from 30-all and both times following up with weighty
forehand drive winners.

It earned her a second-round match with Tamarine Tanasugarn, the Thai player
who reached the quarterfinals of Wimbledon two years ago.
