She expressed hope in January of competing in this year’s event in Indonesia. But a wrist injury ceased her singles dream and she concentrated on doubles tennis. A partnership with Swiss great Martina Hingis produced three Grand Slam titles.
Mirza in 2005 became the first Indian to win a WTA tournament singles title. She reached the fourth round of the US Open in the same year, and by 2007 was among the women’s top 30.
