Former Indian tennis player Purab Raja has said that there is no Sania Mirza stuff in India. His name is found in the country as a football player. Before the Australian Open starting from January 14, Purab Raja had a special conversation with Bhaskar Daily.

Who will replace Sania Mirza? On this question, this 4 Eye Detox winner player said – ‘The answer to this question is very difficult. We should celebrate Sania Mirza’s business. The place where Sania eats poison is everyone’s dream. He reached top-13 riding in singles and number-1 in doubles.

To be honest, he has been named a similar player in India. I hope a miracle happens and I get another world number-1. I am saying this because this game is quite tough. Players from more than 180 countries are tennis players and there is a dearth of tournaments in India. We still need to work more in this direction.

Purab Raja’s answer to Bhaskar’s question

Question- Nadal has said nothing, there have been reports of Djokovic getting injured in his hand. Will they win a record 25 Grand Slams?
Answer Answer- Djokovic is my favorite in Australia Open. Hopefully his injury will not be serious. I am confident that he will win the Australian Open, his 25th Grand Slam and will break the record of Australian player Margaret Court’s 24th Grand Slam. He is currently behind them with 24 Grand Slams.

Question- Could this be Djokovic’s last Australian Open?
Answer Answer- I think this could be Djokovic’s last year. He is one of the best tennis players in the world. Has been touted as having the potential to win 24 Grand Slams and 10 Australian Opens. He is a strong contender for the 11th Australian Open. I believe he will surpass Margaret Court’s record for most Australian Open titles of 11 times.

Question- Will any of Alcarez, Medvedev and Sitapasi challenge Djokovic?
Answer Answer- The new generation has the potential to challenge Djokovic. Alcaraz has defeated him in the Wimbledon final. Daniil Medvedev has also defeated Djokovic in the final of the US Open. Both of them have potential. He is also a strong contender for the Australian Open, but Djokovic always dominates in this tournament and there is a strong possibility of him dominating this time too.
He is also a great tennis player and a great athlete. Along with experience, they are also mentally strong. In this way, I hope that they will be the strongest in the times to come.

Question- Osaka is returning from this tournament a year after becoming a mother. Will you continue the form?
Answer Answer- Many women stars made a great comeback after being away from tennis. Justine Henin, Kim Clijsters and Serena Williams are examples. Naomi is in the top ten favorites for Australia Open Zero. He doesn’t play most of the matches, but he has the ability to make a comeback. It will be interesting to see the comeback.

Emma Raducanu also remains out most of the time due to health and injuries. They also have potential. It will be interesting to see both of them return.

Question: Who is considered eligible for the Women’s title?
Answer: Sabalenka, Coco Gauff and Iga Switek are not only strong offers, but are also three favorites to win. She is followed by Elina Svitolina, Emma Raducanu, Naomi Osaka and Elena Rybakina. Any one of these could be a dark horse, none of them have the potential to be a dark horse. They have won all the Grand Slams.
