Apart from singles, Sania would also compete in the doubles event at Olympics as the International Tennis Federation have given her and Sunitha Rao a wildcard entry.
Sania and Sunitha have hardly been seen together as they play different tournaments due to difference in rankings. And unfortunately they can not pair up to play in any tournament ahead of Olympics.
However, Sania is not bothered about lack of match practice with the US-based Sunitha, who is India's second best woman player.

"We will practice together in Beijing but there does not seem to be a possibility of us playing together in tournaments before the Olympics. We have not played together since a very long time but Sunitha has had some good results in doubles recently and I'm looking forward to playing with her.
"For me, sport is more about trying to capitalise on whatever opportunities one gets and not cribbing about what we do not or could not have.
