Martina Hingis and
Sania Mirza completed a dream first tournament together,
beating
Ekaterina Makarova and
Elena Vesnina (
6-3, 6-4.) to win
the BNP Paribas Open doubles title in Indian Wells, Ca, USA.
"This is something we were hoping for,"
Hingis said.
"She hits a big forehand, especially on the right side,
and I can move and finish off the point. She prepares,
I finish. That's pretty cool to me.
"I'm very happy we made this move. Obviously we had partners we played well with,
like me last year with Flavia, and changing was a big move.
I'm very happy it worked out, because you never know what to expect.
Winning the tournament in our premier, it's new energy, and hopefully we can keep it up."
Hingis with 11 Grand Slams in the team discipline (9 in women's and 2 in mixed)
and
Mirza with 3 Grand Slams (all in mixed).
