It\u2019s not as simple as \u2018okay I\u2019m not going to play\u2019. I do feel my recovery is taking longer, I\u2019m putting my 3-year-old son at risk by travelling so much with him, that\u2019s something I have to take into account. I think my body is wearing down,\u201d the 35-year-old said.<br \/>\n\u201cMy knee was really hurting today and I\u2019m not saying that\u2019s the reason we lost but I do think that it is taking time to recover as I\u2019m getting older,\u201d said Mirza on Wednesday.<br \/>\nThe tennis star added that it\u2019s difficult for her to find the motivation to get out of the house every day as she does not have the same energy levels that she used to have in the past.<br \/>\n\u201cThere are more days than there used to be where I don\u2019t feel like doing that. I\u2019ve always said that I will play until I enjoy that grind, the process which I\u2019m not sure I\u2019m enjoying as much anymore,\u201d the athlete said.<br \/>\n\u201cHaving said that, I still want to play the season because I\u2019m enjoying it enough to play the year. I\u2019ve worked very hard to come back, get fit, lose weight and try to set a good example for mothers, new mothers to follow their dreams as much as they can. Beyond this season, I don\u2019t feel my body doing it,\u201d Mirza added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Delhi Indian tennis star Sania Mirza Wednesday announced her plan to retire from the sport after finishing the current season, NDTV reported.
