While undergoing a surgery in 2017, Sania took a break from tennis.
Extending the break, Sania with her husband and former Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik announced that they were expecting a baby.
Sania, in a recent interview, said that she will keep their child’s name as “Mirza Malik”.
“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 said.
