Sania Mirza, one of India's greatest tennis players ever, ended her Grand Slam career in Melbourne on Friday (January 27) as she lost in the Australian Open 2023 mixed doubles final. She will play in few more tournaments, but this was her last Grand Slam appearance. She has won six Grand Slam titles, with three doubles and three mixed-doubles trophies. "Rod Laver Arena has really been special in my life," Sania said as she broke down in tears remembering her career.
