Winning a Grand Slam is a dream of every tennis aspirant and Sania has 6 doubles titles. But the trophies don't entirely define her.
It hasn't been a cakewalk career for Sania. She didn't have to just battle it out on the court but off it as well. From being criticised for her playing outfits to being questioned for marrying Shoaib Malik across the border, Sania had to deal with it all but boy she broke stereotypes in some style.
After her semi-finals win at the Australian Open, Sania talked about women's sports and said that she hopes parents encourage their young girls to take sport as a career. 'It's not just, Oh, my God, what are you doing going and playing like boys sort of situation. You can actually say you're playing like a girl,' she added.
With almost 11 million followers on Instagram Sania is not just a tennis star but has a big influence on social media as well. To put things in perspective, tennis sensation and world's highest-paid women athlete Naomi Osaka has 2.7 million.
Sania may be a beast in doubles tennis but the Indian great revealed that the most special moment of her career was actually actually a singles match back in 2005 when she came up against Serena Williams, a 3rd-round Australian Open match at the same Melbourne Park.
As Sania now heads to the Dubai Open in February, it will be her final shot at scripting a perfect end to an already glorious career, which most people can just dream to have.
