Hong Kong: Sania Mirza is all set to kick off 2009 with a WTA event in Hong Kong.

In 2008, Sania did not do too well with her wrist injury forcing her out of a majority of tournaments.

She finished 2008 ranking 100th in the world with her best performance last year was when she reached the quarter-finals at Hobart.

However, Sania now looks fit and is ready to put the disappointment of 2008 behind her.

"I feel like I am fit. I feel like, you know, that my fitness is at my best right now. And I am just going take it by the day, you know, just try and get back to competing and enjoying and getting the feeling of winning some matches of the game," said Sania.

The tournament in Hong Kong known as the World Team Challenge features teams from four regions - Europe, Russia, the Americas and Asia-Pacific - battling for the trophy.

World No.1 Jelena Jankovic and Wimbledon champion Venus Williams are the tip stars in the tournament.
