Sania Mirza on Tuesday said she expected a tough season ahead and indicated that her priority was to ensure that her WTA ranking did not slip further this year. "I just want to stay at the ranking that I am," the 19-year-old told reporters after her first round victory at the USD 175,000 Bangalore Open. "Second year is much harder than the first year. Every year, things are getting harder. I just try to give my best. I will do my job." In the latest WTA rankings, Sania's world ranking slipped from 32 to 38.  | Also Read | | |

"It's hard for any athlete to play at home. So many people watch," Sania said but added "you have to come through the pressure."
