Sania Mirza, nursing a wrist injury, will take a final decision on her participation in next week's $175,000 WTA Sunfeast Open only after reaching here, said Mahesh Bhupathi.
Sania, on a roll on the WTA Tour, this year, has been troubled by the injury for a long time and aggravated it during her US Open campaign.
"We know she is injured. But she'll definitely travel to Kolkata where she will take the final decision. At this moment, we don't know the extent of her injury," Bhupathi said.
The ace doubles player, however, said Sania as well as the organisers were hoping that her wrist recovers quickly so as to enable her participation in the tournament, which may otherwise lose some of its sheen.
"She will take a final call on participating in the event closer to the tournament. We are hoping that she will play. And I can tell you, she is also hoping the same," he said.
"We're even prepared to delay her opening match if that makes it possible for her to take the court," Bhupathi said.
Sania had made the semifinals here last year.
