This initiative has been widely appreciated by viewers across India, as it has taken the sport to a wider audience.”
Mirza said, “I am very excited to be a part of the Tennis Broadcast with Sony Sports Network post my recent retirement. With a strong portfolio of three of the four Grand Slams, Sony Sports Network is the Home of Tennis in India.
