Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza feels that there is "enough pressure" on them as elite athletes to even think of aspects like why India is yet to win an Olympic medal till the sixth day of the competitions.


"I don't feel any extra pressure. I just feel as responsible every time I step on the court, whether at the Olympics or Grand Slam. It's very tough. If you have to win the tournament you have to win everybody. You have to hope for the best," Sania said after she and Bopanna won their pre quarter-final match against Australians Sam Stosur and John Peers.

Asked whether the pressure of winning a medal with Indian contingent's dismal show till now will have an effect, the multiple Grand Slam champion replied:"People follow (Olympics) it every single day and morning. As athletes, we have dealt enough pressure, point after point. We can't think about other aspects what happened outside. Hopefully it's going to happen and we are going to win the medal or somebody else," the world No 1 in WTA doubles ranking said.

It's her third Olympics and a medal which has eluded her in the two earlier editions means a world to her. "Personally for me, it would be amazing to win a medal at the Olympics which I don't have. It would mean the world us. We would do whatever we can and put our best forward," Sania said. The Indians are set to meet British pair of Andy Murray and Heather Watson.
