Indian Wells, Mar 22 (IBNS): Indian tennis icon Sania Mirza and her Swiss partner Martina Hingis clinched the BNP Paribas Open doubles title by beating Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina in the final of the tournament.

Sania-Martina defeated their opponents  6-3, 6-4.

"This is something we were hoping for," Hingis was quoted as saying by wtatennis.com.

She 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," she said,

Speaking on the victory, Sania tweeted: "Championssss at the @BNPPARIBASOPEN with @mhingis what a day."
