Social media is part of our lives, and when you become a public figure, it’s just something you need to deal with. It’s not always a bed of roses. But everything has its pros and cons. You only have to try and protect yourself along with the people around you.

Notably, Jannik Sinner had advised youngsters to not post everything on social media. After his Australian Open win, Sinner explained why he chooses to stay away from such platforms. 

I always tell young people to be careful with social networks because things are projected that are not true. People convey that they have a fantastic life when in reality things may be going badly for them. I don't like them because I don't think they show the truth and, honestly, I live much better without them and I will continue that way.
Jannik Sinner had said.

However, Mirza has coped with the challenges really well. Right after she retired from the sport, the tennis ace got into a mentorship role with the Women’s Premier League (WPL) franchise Royal Challenges Bengaluru (RCB). Apart from that, she has also worked with several brands to shoot ads.

Amid all the hustle, Mirza has been constantly troubled by the scrutiny on social media. The 37-year-old emphasized how it became challenging for her as she grew in her field.

Nevertheless, the former tennis ace has navigated through her career well and is living the post-retirement life with the same enthusiasm with which she dominated on the tennis court.
