Sania Mirza wins India’s first women's title at Wimbledon with Hingis
Trending
The Indian ace, who had not found much success during her singles career, saw a resounding comeback in the doubles, and one that has proved immensely fruitful following the beginning of her partnership with Swiss former No. 1 Martina Hingis in early 2015. Together, the pair won the women’s doubles titles at Wimbledon and the US Open in 2015, following that up with a 2016 Australian Open win.
Mirza and Hingis’ title win at Wimbledon last year marked the first time an Indian woman had been in a title victory at the Championships – although Leander Paes had already taken the title there five times prior.
Her win marked a breakthrough for both Mirza and women’s tennis in India.
