India tennis ace Sania Mirza identified with USA’s Serena Williams, who went down fighting to Japan’s Naomi Osaka in the semi-finals of the Australian Open in Melbourne on Thursday. 

Both Mirza, 34, and Williams, 39, became mothers not too long ago (Williams delivered daughter Alexis Olympia Jr on September 1, 2017 while Mirza gave birth to son Izhaan on October 30, 2018) and as the American continues to be an inspiration, excelling on court post-motherhood, Mirza saluted her.
