Hyderabad: Having won five doubles titles this season, Sania Mirza termed the year as one of the best of career and hoped to win more Grand Slams and be world number one in the years to come.
“People win one tournament and say they had a good year. So, I am very happy. One of the main targets is to try and win a slam. I am going to try and win more slams and try and win a women’s grand slam as well. That’s what we really play for,” she told reporters at her tennis academy here on Tuesday.
Sania’s latest triumph came in the China Open where she teamed up with Cara Black in the women’s doubles.
“I always used to say when I was playing, whenever I used to give myself a target, I used to get injured. So, I stopped giving myself a target. Because, I would achieve it and I would get hurt. Sometimes, I think I push my body too much.
“If someone told me at the beginning of the year, I am going to win five tournaments by the end of year, I would have taken it with both hands,” she said. (PTI
