Roche to train Sania Mirza
High-profile tennis coach Tony Roche, associated with the likes of world number one Roger Federer, will train Sania Mirza in her build-up to the Australian Open early next year.
The Australian great would work on specific areas of weaknesses in Sania's game, particularly her serve, as the 18-year-old Hyderabadi starts the new season from an event which catapulted her to the big league.
It was at the Australian Open last year Sania shot into limelight, becoming the first Indian woman ever to reach the third round of any Grand Slam.
Sania will start training in late December after a short winter break. She will train with Roche for three weeks in Sydney, Sania's father Imran Mirza said.
He said it was only after former Indian Davis Cupper Jaideep Mukherjea put in a word that Roche agreed to take up the assignment.
