Sania-Martina enter WTA semi-finals

Former world number one Martina Hingis believes such a prospect would be “nice”, given the way they have been playing.

After her 6-4, 6-4 win over top seed Simona Halep last night, the Russian said: “I got injured in the middle of the season, it’s not as if I got injured at the end of the season, so I can’t (blame) playing a long season for my injuries this year”. “She’s done really well in the last one month”.

“She bakes all day and forces me to eat her new cakes”, Hao-ching said.

The 16-time Grand Slam victor – five singles and 11 doubles – also feels that Muguruza has all the attributes and potential to become the world’s best player in the future.

“I’m not the older sister on the court and definitely not the leader because she never listens to me”, Yung-jan told the Times with a grin.

Timea and Kristina came back stronger in the second set but the reigning US Open champions once again broke the fourth seeds to win the tie and comprehensively enter the semifinals.

And if she had to pick a victor? “I think that’s a tough question but it would be nice to see Maria against Garbiñe, that would be a nice final”, she mused.

The annual WTA Finals, which kicked off October 25 and will run through November 1, is played by the top eight players/pairs of the year who are divided into two round-robin groups – red and white – with the top two players/teams of each group progressing to the semi-finals.

Worlds numero uno womens doubles pair of Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis continued their rampaging form and extended their monster winning streak to 20 matches in a row after reaching the semifinals of the WTA Finals here today.

This year, Sania and Martina have won eight women’s doubles titles, including two Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon and the US Open, since teaming up in March.
