When two champions of tennis share their knowledge of the sport they most love and excel, everyone is keyed in.

That is exactly what happened on Wednesday evening when Indian ace Sania Mirza hosted the legendary Martina Navratilova at a tennis 'Masterclass' in Hyderabad.

Organised by the WTA, the 'Future Stars Masterclass', at a popular city hotel, was a learning session for young tennis talent.

“@MirzaSania & @Martina at Sania's Tennis Academy for #WTA Future Stars Tennis Masterclass”, the WTA tweeted.

The ocean of knowledge shared by both, Sania and Navratilova, must certainly have been worth more than a hundred training sessions.

They also did a video chat on Twitter and took questions from their fans.

Navratilova’s trip to the city allowed Sania an opportunity to take the legend to her tennis academy.

“@MirzaSania shows @Martina around her tennis academy in her home city of Hyderabad,” read another tweet.
