New Delhi, November 29: Sania Mirza will mark her return to the courts with a celebrity mixed doubles match partnering Mahesh Bhupathi against Shikha Uberoi and former Wimbledon champion Richard Krajicek on the sidelines of a men's event on Sunday.
Shikha will also play a singles match against Krajicek's sister Michaela on the sidelines of the ABN-Amro tennis challenge on December 3-4, Globosports, organisers of the event, said.
Sania, who last played in a competitive match seven weeks ago, had suffered a back strain and pulled out of a WTA tour event in Thailand in the first week of October.
She still has a slight strain in her lower back but the 19-year-old began practice two days ago in her hometown Hyderabad.
