#12 Sania-Hingis pair tastes first success at Indian Wells
Coming into 2015, Sania Mirza was in top form, having continued her upward surge in the doubles circuit throughout 2014. Before the commencement of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, it was announced that Sania would be pairing up with Swiss legend Martina Hingis.
The pair enjoyed instant success, beating the second-seeded pair of Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina 6-3, 6-4 in the final. The Indo – Swiss pair did not drop a single set en route to their maiden title triumph at Indian wells, a feat they would emulate at the Miami Open, where the Makarova-Vesnina pair had to once again bear the brunt of the pair’s destructive form.
