Sania Mirza tired of being dragged into controversy
Sania Mirza has decided against
playing in India for now.
Sania Mirza has opted out of next month's
Bangalore Open and has cited the
petty controversies that have been dogging her for quite some time for the
pullout.
"I am not playing in Bangalore Open. I have
been advised by my manager not to
play in Banglore because a lot has been happening
in the past few months," Sania said on 04.02.2008.
"Everytime I have
played in India, there has been some kind of problem. So we just thought it was
better not to play this time," she added.
Ever since her
breakthrough 2005 season, Sania Mirza has been battling controversies ranging from her
on court attire being dubbed indecent by
Islamic fundamentalists to the recent
flag controversy during the
Hopman Cup in December last year.
In
fact, the
off court furores had
shaken the world number 29 to such an extent
that she had contemplated giving up the game altogether a few weeks before
last
month's Australian Open.
