Responding to a question on whether her outlook on tennis and tournaments has changed since this was the last season of her career, Sania expressed frustration at the constant questions about retirement.

‘I play tennis with the sole aim of winning. My goal is to win every game as long as I stay on the field. I do not always think of retiring, ”said Sania.

‘I still enjoy playing tennis. Enjoyed it before. Success or failure, I still have the same vision so far. Trying to give my 100 percent on the field. Sometimes it succeeds. Others sometimes go unsuccessful. My thoughts are still on the remaining matches of this season. But that is not what will happen at the end of this season ‘- Sania explained.

Earlier in the day, Sania and Rajeev Ram lost to Australia’s Foulis-Kubler (4-6, 6-7) in the mixed doubles quarterfinals.
