The 31-year-old Indian tennis superstar, who is out of action due to a jumper knee issue since October 2017, tweeted a picture suggesting that she is pregnant. Sania’s father and coach Imran confirmed to that the six-time Grand Slam champion is indeed expecting a child.

“Yes, it’s true,” Imran told adding that the baby is due in October. At the start of the year, Sania had said that she was hoping to make a comeback to competitive tennis at the French Open. Sania at the recent ‘Goa Fest 2018’ had said that their child would keep surnames of both of them.

“Today I will tell you a secret. My husband and I have spoken about it and we have decided that whenever we have a child, the child will have Mirza-Malik as a surname and not just Malik. So that’s where we stand as a family including my husband. He actually wants a daughter,” Sania had said.
