HYDERABAD:
Newly wed Sania Mirza will make her tennis come back with the $600,000 Aegon Classic tennis in Birmingham.

She last played competitive tennis in February when she lost first round of a Dubai event to Spaniard Medina Garrigues. She withdrew from Indian Wells event in March due to her recurring wrist injury and has not played since then.
