"I don’t know if being in that power position is the only way I can help. If I had an opportunity to contribute more by being in that position, I would love to do it. But is it something that I’m aiming for or that’s my goal? The answer is no, that’s not my goal," said Mirza when asked about being involved in a Sports administration role.

"My goal is to help as many young players as possible, especially young girls, because they lack many role models. I want to share my experiences. If that allows me to be part of the system and gives me more opportunities than just helping on the phone or on the court, I’m happy to do it. But it’s not my primary focus," Sania added.
