Sania Mirza has been appointed as the Tennis Ambassador for Sony Sports Network, the popular sports broadcaster announced yesterday. Mirza, a former tennis player, will join the network as an expert panelist, bringing her wealth of knowledge and experience to the viewers.

Sony Sports Network has also launched a campaign called “Home of Tennis,” which celebrates Mirza’s transition from a player to an expert. The campaign showcases the perfect partnership between Mirza, Sony Sports Network, and the three prestigious Grand Slam tournaments.
