NEW DELHI: "I can say that you are India's pride, whose success has filled hearts and minds of every Indian with utmost joy," Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Sania Mirza while lauding the legendary athlete for her stupendous career in which she displayed that "more women can pursue tennis and excel in it".
Six-time Grand Slam champion Sania retired from the game last month in Dubai, where she donned the tennis attire for the final time in a competitive tournament.
