An incredible start to her comeback: Mahesh Bhupathi on Sania Mirza

Kolkata: Tennis great Mahesh Bhupathi heaped praise on his former mixed doubles partner Sania Mirza, saying it is an 'incredible' start to her road to making a comeback after the star player won the women's doubles title at Hobart International on Saturday along with Nadiia Kichenok. "Incredible start to her comeback..she has worked very hard to get match fit and it's great to see the results come so quick," Bhupathi told IANS.

Bhupathi and Mirza had won two Grand Slams together before parting ways in 2012. Mirza had won the Australian Open (2009) and French Open (2012) with Bhuapthi and became the first female player from India to win a Grand Slam when she won the 2009 Australian Open trophy with Bhupathi. "I have always seen a fighter in her. It's not easy to come back after not playing tennis for two years. What she has done only shows her class and commitment to the sport. I hope she remains injury-free and healthy and there are greater things to come for her this year," he said. IANS
