The Indian tennis star highlighted the doubt and anger one feels about not winning. “We pick ourselves up after a tough loss and work harder, we wipe off the tears and we sweat more ..the team and family does all that with you, the emotion and joy, the tears, the pain, the sweat, and blood is all real and something we go through every day,” she wrote.

She further added that playing at the highest level is a decision and a privilege. Belief is the only thing that keeps the athletes going.

She said that the most important thing is to come up every day and to give your everything.

She concluded her note with a special mention of her fans, family, and friends, whose support, she said, she is “forever grateful for”.
