When Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza won the women’s doubles title at Indian Wells last month, their first tournament together as partners, it came as “a big surprise” to many observers, Mirza said.
After all, not only did they not lose a set, they didn’t surrender more than four games in any set.
So Hingis and Mirza came to the 2015 Miami Open knowing they’d be scouted harder by opponents. Sunday, in the final at Miami, it looked like Hingis and Mirza might not only lose their first set, but their first match.
Then they won the next eight games and cruised to a 7-5, 6-1 win against the Russian pair of Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina, which lost last year’s Miami final to Hingis and former partner Sabine Lisicki.
