KARACHI: India's Tennis star Sania Mirza pulled out from US Open due to elbow and forearm injuries. Taking to Instagram, Mirza informed her fans about the injury which ruled him out of the US Open.  "A quick update. I just have some not so great news. I hurt my forearm/elbow while playing in Canada 2 weeks ago and obviously didn’t realise how bad it was until I got my scans yesterday and unfortunately I have infact torn a little bit of my tendon. I will be out for a weeks and have pulled out of US open," Sania wrote while also delaying her retirement plans. In January this year, Mirza announced her retirement plans after playing her last season.  

"There's a few reasons for it. It's not as simple as 'okay I'm not going to play'. I do feel my recovery is taking longer, I'm putting my 3-year-old son at risk by travelling so much with him, that's something I have to take into account. I think my body is wearing down," the 35-year-old had said while stating the reasons why she has decided to retire.
