Mirza had previously announced her retirement earlier this year. However, the right-handed Mirza wanted to end her fantastic journey on a special note.
"I have some really exciting news. I am all set to play my last ever tennis match exactly where it all started for me 18-20 years ago in the L.B. Stadium on March 5," she said in a video message posted on her Instagram handle.
The tennis player said that all her closest friends, peers, and partners will be coming. "I can’t wait to play this match in front of all of you for one last time stepping on the tennis court competitively," she said containing her emotions.
"I hope to end this journey on a beautiful note in front of my friends and family but most of all in front of my most loyal fans and followers who have been through everything with me in this journey," Mirza added.
