The spectacular women’s doubles partnership between Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis partnership which won nine titles in a year is over. Sania’s collaboration with Hingis not only helped her win her first ever women’s doubles Grand Slam title but the duo were also world number one in women’s doubles.
Sania will now team up with world number 21 Barbora Strycova from the Czech Republic. However, the decision has shocked her fans.
