Sania Mirza launches The Next Set to support women athletes

India’s greatest women’s tennis player and six-time Grand Slam champion Sania Mirza announced The Next Set, an initiative to support India’s leading and emerging women athletes.

Envisioned as a way to give back to the sport, the initiative is designed to help women athletes already competing at a high level prepare for the demands of professional sport.

Starting with tennis, the initiative is built on a two-fold approach. The primary



focus of The Next Set is providing access to a dedicated support system — including coaches, physiotherapists and trainers who can travel with players across tournaments, enabling better coordination and preparation throughout the year.

Alongside this, the programme will also conduct focused tennis camps and coaching clinics led by Sania Mirza at her academy, the Sania Mirza Tennis Academy, which will address technical, tactical, physical and mental aspects of performance.
