Tasnim Mir braces for tougher challenges ahead

Tasnim Mir said she is acutely aware that doing well in the senior ranks will present different challenges. She has also decided to shun all social media in her quest to become better at her game at the senior level. “It was a very good feeling when I became No.1 in the World Under-19 rankings. It was a big achievement. Repeating that in the senior ranks will be a different ball game. I have to improve,” she said.

I’m working on my rallies and stamina as I’m aware that Asian players are very good at rallies, power and speed. The game is becoming faster and we have to play some quick rallies. My focus is to improve my ranking," she said. "My goal is to be in the top-50 so that I can compete in bigger international tournaments. I have to be consistent with my game to achieve that goal and then to rise to be among the top 20." Tasnim Mir@Tasnimmir_indiaAnother International Title in the women's category.
