Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza suffer shock first defeat since pairing up
Six long weeks of sensational tennis by the Swiss-Indo pair came to a halt in front of the hurdle posed by Petra Martic and Stephanie Vogt, who themselves are a first-time pairing.
During these six weeks, Sania Mirza reached the No. 1 spot of the Double's WTA Tennis Rankings- an unforeseen feat by any Indian.
"Given the two teams' credentials, it was a David and Goliath-like victory. Hingis and Mirza went into the match 14-0 together and with 70 WTA doubles titles between them - 44 for Hingis, 26 for Mirza.", WTA reported in its official website.
Mirza and Hingis lost in straight sets of 6-3, 6-3.
