Former world No.1 doubles player Sania Mirza is excited to see a rivalry building up in women’s tennis between the top two players — Aryna Sabalenaka and Iga Swiatek. “It is a fair comment to make that a rivalry is growing between Iga and Sabalenka,” Sania said during a virtual interaction on Friday. ADVERTISEMENT“Iga won Wimbledon last year and that is when the rivalry really started building up, since no one really expected her to win on grass. But of course, the most probable final will be a Carlos Alcaraz vs Jannik Sinner one.”Somdev Dev Varman puts his money on Sinner. I think Sinner is better prepared.”The Australian Open will be telecast live from 5.30am, Sunday, on Sony Sports Network
