On Sania Mirza's birthday, we recall the 9 most iconic moments from her career

Mirza is known for speaking her mind, whether in person or on social media, and even this time, she did not hold back. While Mirza and Bopanna, who were a pair at the Olympic Games this year in Rio, get along, former doubles no. 1 Leander Paes has been in an ongoing feud with the players, and took a dig at both in an interview following the Davis Cup, where he alleged that the ‘wrong teams’ had been sent to Rio.

Not one to keep silent, Mirza wrote on Twitter, “The ONLY way to win with a toxic person, is not to play!!! #karmaiswatching #zenmode.”
