HYDERABAD, July 14: Having won Wimbledon women�s doubles crown with Martina Hingis, India�s star tennis player Sania Mirza today said she would like continue her winning run in the US Open. Sania became the first Indian to clinch the Wimbledon women�s doubles title.
�The hard court season is just round the corner. We like playing on that surface. Last year, I made it to the semifinals there with a different partner and Martina made the final with (Flavia) Pennetta at the US Open, so we are looking forward to going there as number one seeds, hopefully. I think one of the other goals is to qualify for Singapore championship (WTA Finals),� she told reporters here.
Sania and her Swiss partner Martina, seeded top, got the better of Russian duo of Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina 5-7, 7-6 (4), 7-5 in a thrilling final in London. �It�s a childhood dream coming true for me to win the Wimbledon title,� she said proudly displaying the coveted cup. Sania, who arrived at her home town here early today from London, said she would like to set only �very short term� goals in life and not look too far ahead. �The Olympics is too distant to focus on.� � PTI
