Sania further stated that there is no such thing as retiring and that one should continue to participate as long as one can completely contribute to the game. The 35-year-old recently announced her retirement from tennis, explaining that she would call it quits by the end of 2022 since her body is no longer allowing her to be the greatest version of herself.
