Sania Mirza came on the court and opened the account in the final of her last Grand Slam by hitting a winner. Teamed up with Rohan Bopanna to take an edge over Stefani and Matos. The first set of the mixed doubles final of the Australian Open seemed to be going in the account of the Indian pair. Sania and Bopanna lead 5-3, but then Stefani and Matos come back, strong come back, pulsating, increasing the pressure. Sania and Bopanna put more effort.
The audience also started cheering Sania with full enthusiasm. His son tried his best to increase his mother’s enthusiasm. The parents of the Indian star were also seen. During the last battle of Sania’s career in Grand Slam, everyone close to her was present to cheer her, but the one who was not seen was her husband Shoaib Malik. Where was Shoaib Malik when Sania was fighting in court?

7 thousand km away Shoaib
Sania also became very emotional after losing the final. Remembering her journey, she started crying. During this also the family stood by him, but Shoaib was nowhere to be seen. Actually Shoaib is about 7 thousand km away from Sania. Indian tennis star is currently in Australia while her husband Pakistani cricketer Shoaib is in Bangladesh, where he is playing Bangladesh Premier League for Rangpur Riders.

talk of separation
Not only here, on Friday, Shoaib’s team will take on the field against Rangpur Riders Sylhet Strikers. Shoaib had played an excellent inning of 75 runs in the last match. He was the player of the match. An important part of the team. Talking about Sania and Shoaib, both were tied in marriage in 2010, but in the past there were reports that both have separated and are living separately.
