Sania Mirza to work with Gil Reyes

Sania Mirza will be heading to Las Vegas for a week starting March 2.

There will be no time for entertainment for Sania. Instead she will spend the entire week sweating it out at Gil Reyes' training centre.

"It's going to be a new experience and I'm looking forward to it," Sania said.

"I've heard so much about it from Ana (Ivanovic) and (Fernando) Verdasco, who had trained there before he made the semifinals of the Australian Open."

"This is going to be a short stint because I'll be playing tournaments in the following week. If it works well for me I want to go over for a longer stint in the near future."

Sania will be joined by coach Sven Groeneveld at Reyes' centre.

"The schedule hasn't been drawn up as yet," Sania's father Imran said.

"As in, how much time she spends in the gym and how much working out, but we should have that finalized in the next couple of days," he added.

After the training, Sania is hoping to get wildcards to play in Indian Wells and Miami. Groeneveld will be joining her at both events.
