Kolkata : World number one doubles tennis ace Sania Mirza on Wednesday said she’s not thinking about partnering Leadner Paes for the Olympics, which is more than six months away.
“For me, it’s still six seven months away. I’m not really thinking about it back of my head as of now. Will take a call closer to the Olympics. The best team should be put forward. In five six months we will take that call,” Sania, who partnered Mahesh Bhupathi to defeat the duo of legendary Martina Navratilova and Paes in an International Premier Tennis League promotional tour event here, said.
“We have three Slams to play before the Olympics. As a tennis player, we don’t have the luxury to prepare for Olympics six months in advance. But when we get there we will try and give our best to win a medal for the country.”
The Indo-Swiss pair of Sania and Martina Hingis secured the year-end WTA No. 1 doubles ranking after being in 8-1 finals this season, which included the titles of Wimbledon and US Open.
