Indian tennis star Sania Mirza’s dance on US rapper Doja Cat's latest song Kiss Me More has left the web world mighty impressed. The six-time Grand Slam champion can be seen showcasing her dance skills in her India kit for the Olympics. Sania posted the video with caption “The 'A' in my name stands for soooo much in my life” followed by a heart emoji. India's Olympic kit for the 2020 Tokyo Games was launched last month by the Indian Olympic Association (IOA).Sania Mirza was one set away from at least a silver medal — with Rohan Bopanna in the mixed doubles semifinals — in the 2016 Rio Olympics. 

They lost to Venus Williams and Rajeev Ram and were also denied a bronze by the Czechs, Radek Stepanek and Lucie Hradecka. After the birth of her son the 34-year-old Sania, ranked 156th in doubles, has now set the Tokyo Olympics as her main target. On Tuesday, Sania also interacted with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during a live video conference and discussed her preparation for the forthcoming event. During the live chat, the PM heaped praises on the Indian star for her stellar performances over the years. He also asked Sania about her take on the efforts one has to put into becoming the ultimate champion in tennis. Sania was last seen in action at Wimbledon 2021. She will represent India in Tokyo in the women's doubles event along with Ankita Raina.
