PM Modi congratulates Sania Mirza over US Open success

That game was close but won with the game. The game will be played at Artur Ashe Stadium in New York.

At the other end of the court, Shvedova double-faulted to hand the top seeds their first championship point.

Then, Hingis played an exquisite high volley on the next point to win the title, 6-3, 6-3 in 69 minutes. “I (would) rather win, alongside Sania and Leander, Grand Slam titles than having to struggle with my body”. “Congrats to Martina Hingis and Leander Paes on their mixed doubles victory”.

The Indo-Swiss pair did not drop a set throughout the tournament and were pretty happy with the win. Hingis 34 too heaped praise on her partner Paes. She had previously partnered with Anna Kournikova, Mary Pierce, Jana Novotna, Mirjana Lucic, Natasha Zvereva and Helena Sukova in an impressive career. Of these 10, two got here with Paes once they gained Australian Open and the Wimbledon in 2003.

Paes, who has featured in six Olympics has set his sights on next year’s Rio Games and has said a mixed doubles gold is among the priorities.

It is BBC. The keen followers noticed that BBC Sports reporting about the US Open 2015 Women’s Double Champion chose to mention just Martina Hingis with Sania Mirza’s name missing from it. Their tweet read, “Hingis does it again at the #USOpen, taking her Grand Slam tally to 20”. “We’re the No.1 team in the world, so we have to keep building on this”. She was also a two-time finalists at the French Open, losing to Iva Majoli in 1997 and Steffi Graf in 1999. She won her first mixed doubles trophy with Mahesh Bhupathi when they won 2006 Australian Open.

But there was a positive to come out of the defeat; with their deep US Open run, Dellacqua and Shvedova sealed their spot at the elite eight-team WTA Finals in Singapore.

They began playing as the team in March, this is their second match after Wimbledon in July.

US Open Final Title was won by Novak Djokovic beating Roger Federer, So far he won the Australia Open five times it is a record now. Hingis also has a chance to add another in the women’s doubles final with India’s Sania Mirza on Sunday.

This was Paes’ fourth Wimbledon mixed doubles title – with four different partners – while Hingis was claiming her first.
