MC Stan celebrated Sania’s career with a live performance at a historic occasion in Hyderabad.
When Sania reached the ground, everyone cheered and greeted her warmly. Sania Mirza was very emotional in her farewell speech.
Sania said: “I’m excited to play the last game of my career in front of you all. It’s my greatest honor to have played for my country for 20 years. It’s every player’s dream to play for their country at the highest level and I’ve done it.”
Sania further said, “These are tears of joy. I couldn’t have asked for a better farewell. “Although I am saying goodbye to tennis, I will continue to participate in other sports, including tennis in India and Telangana, and I will continue to strive to advance it,” she said. After this speech, Sania Mirza played her last game and then Sports Minister of Telangana, V. Srinivas Gowdu, said goodbye to Sania with a speech of honor.
