Indian tennis star Sania Mirza has dismissed reports that her marriage with Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik is in trouble, Indian media reported. The news of differences and separation of Shoaib and Sania had been making rounds on the media for many months, but the Indian tennis player, who was on a private visit to Sialkot, the hometown of her in-laws, clarified that reports about her marriage being on the rocks were incorrect.

“Our marriage has not been easy because we are professional athletes and come from different countries and we knew there would be stress on us with time but we have so far managed it well. There are no problems between us at all,” said Sania.
