It was interesting to note that Sania Mirza didn’t respond to Malik’s tweet, however she retweeted the wishes of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Indian President Pranab Mukherjee.
Well played @mhingis & @MirzaSania. You played wonderful tennis & registered a fantastic win at @Wimbledon. We are proud & very happy.
— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) July 12, 2015
Hearty congratulations @MirzaSania @mhingis on winning women’s doubles in Wimbledon, @MirzaSania‘s achievement will inspire youth of India

Did she really ignore Malik’s tweet congratulating his wife? Only Mirza can answer.
Meanwhile, the tennis star praised the support she and Hingis received throughout the tournament and hoped her win will have a positive impact back home in cricket-mad India.
“I hope it inspires a lot of girls and makes them believe they can be Grand Slam champions too,” she said.
