"Explosive Movements, Agility Stuff": How Sania Mirza Is Preparing For Tokyo Olympics

Tokyo Olympics: Sania Mirza will play alongside Ankita Raina and is excited to feature in the Olympics with a fellow female Indian player.

Sania Mirza might be in her 30s but the Indian tennis star is in no mood to stop as she gears up for her fourth Olympics. Sania will become the first female athlete to represent India at four Olympics when she features at the Tokyo Games, slated to get underway from July 23. The tennis stalwart doesn't think about how long she will play the game and just focuses on being in the present moment. "I have had an amazing career. It's just about believing in yourself and believing in your abilities," Olympics.com quoted Sania as saying. "I am in my 30s and I'm still here! I don't really think too much about it (how long I will play). I take it day by day, I don't really think too far into the future," she added. Sania said she is training off-court also to be in the best shape and be more agile. "I have been doing a lot of on-court work. But I have been training off-court as well. I have been doing a lot of explosive movements and agility stuff just to stay sharp and powerful," said Sania.
