Tired of being dragged into one controversy after another in the past few months, Sania Mirza has decided against playing in India for now. Sania has opted out of next month's Bangalore Open and has cited the petty controversies that have been dogging her for quite some time for the pullout. "I am not playing in Bangalore Open. I have been advised by my manager not to play (there) because a lot has been happening in the past few months," Sania said. "Everytime I have played in India, there has been some kind of problem. So we just thought it was better not to play this time," she added. Ever since her breakthrough 2005 season, Sania has been battling controversies ranging from her on court attire being dubbed indecent by Islamic fundamentalists to the recent flag controversy during the Hopman Cup in December last year.
