Mumbai: Sania Mirza has opted to end her season early to recover from injury and prepare for next year.
"It's been a long and hard year for me where I had to make comebacks from two serious injuries and surgery," Mirza told a newspaper on Saturday.
"I am mentally tired and my body is crying out for a break. I am looking forward to a rest and then a great season next year."
The 20-year-old had planned to end her season after playing in Austria and Canada in the coming weeks but a strained abductor muscle picked up in her first round loss at the Zurich Open on Monday has forced the world number 30 to revise her plans.
The Indian No. 1 underwent surgery in March after suffering a ligament injury in her right knee at the Qatar Open.
She suffered a wrist injury after the US Open, where she reached the third round, and missed her home WTA event last month.
