Mirza also urged her fans to watch the 'Being Serena' documentary, highlighting that Serena Williams' journey was similar to her. In her note, Sania Mirza said that after becoming a mother, she was not sure whether she will ever get back to playing Tennis. "Having put-on around 23kgs during my pregnancy, I wasn't sure if I was ever going to get back to being fit and playing tennis again," Sania says in her letter.

Sania added that by following a strict diet and putting in the hard yards during workout sessions, she managed to lose around 26 kilos and came back to the sport she loves.

. @serenawilliams your story has inspired me to pen this letter. The #BeingSerena documentary echoes my experience and of women worldwide who everyday balance family and personal goals.

"I lost around 26 kilos with a lot of workout regimes and very strict diets and came back to tennis because that's what I know, love and do," Sania added.

Sania Mirza, returning to the tennis court after a gap of almost two years, made a dream comeback by winning the Hobart International title with her doubles partner Nadiia Kichenok.

Speaking on her win in Australia, Sania said that she was proud of herself for making a successful return at the highest level.

"Finally, when I won at Hobart after coming back it was pretty amazing. I was honestly very proud of myself to have been able to put myself to compete at the highest level again and I think that's where I was mentally," Sania mentioned.
