Sania-Martina pair lifts WTA trophy

By The Assam Tribune

SINGAPORE, Nov 1: Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza and her Swiss partner Martina Hingis lifted their ninth title together this year beating the Spanish pair of Garbine Muguruza and Carla Suarez Navarro to clinch the WTA Finals women�s doubles trophy here today. Sania and Martina, the top seeds, prevailed 6-0, 6-3 over their eight-seeded rivals in a lopsided summit clash, which lasted little over an hour.

Before this, Sania and Martina had won eight titles (Indian Wells, Miami, Charleston, Wimbledon, US Open, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Beijing) and finished runner-up just once (Rome - falling to WTA Rising Stars Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic). The Indo-Swiss pairing dropped serve only once through the match and broke their opponents five times to wrap up a comprehensive victory. Sania and Martina are now unbeaten in 22 matches, stretching back six tournaments. In fact, since their last defeat � to Chan Hao-Ching and Chan Yung-Jan in Cincinnati � they have dropped just two sets. � PTI
