After the 36-year-old Sania won the match, her son was filled with joy as he came running to her mother, who lifted him in her arms. It was Bopanna who took Izhaan down from the stands, after which the latter ran to his mother.

Later, Sania bid adieu to the crowd at the Margaret Court Arena and went inside the dressing room with her son. Back in 2018, Sania became a mother to her first child with Pakistan all-rounder Shoaib Malik. Sania also keeps sharing adorable pictures with her son on social media platforms.
