Sania launches The Next Set to support women players

Six-time Grand Slam champion Sania Mirza on Tuesday announced the launch of The Next Set, an initiative aimed at mentoring and supporting India’s leading and emerging women athletes, beginning with tennis. Envisioned as a way of giving back to the sport, The Next Set seeks to provide structured support to women athletes competing at a high level, helping them navigate the demands of professional sport. The initiative will follow a two-pronged approach, with its primary focus on creating access to a dedicated support system that includes coaches, physiotherapists and trainers who can travel with players across tournaments to ensure consistent preparation and coordination throughout the season.
