Mirza-Malik as surname
Sania Mirza had confirmed her pregnancy via social media in April.
Earlier, when Mirza was asked about the name of her child she told that her child will have Mirza-Malik as the surname.
According to the Indian Express, she said, "Today I will tell you a secret. My husband and I have spoken about it and we have decided that whenever we have a child, the child will have Mirza-Malik as a surname and not just Malik. So that's where we stand as a family including my husband. He actually wants a daughter."
Sania is planning on taking an extended break from tennis before beginning her preparations for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
