Wimbledon champions Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza have captured their second consecutive Grand Slam women’s doubles crown, defeating Casey Dellacqua and Yaroslava Shvedova 6-3, 6-3 in the US Open final. India’s Mirza and Swiss veteran Hingis did not drop a set in becoming the first top-seeded duo to win the US Open women’s doubles title since Cara Black and Liezel Huber won the 2008 crown. Hingis also won the mixed doubles alongside a partner from India, men’s doubles veteran Leander Paes.
It was the 11th career Grand Slam doubles title for Hingis, 34, who has won four Australian Opens (1997, 1998, 1999, 2002), two French Opens (1998, 2000), three at Wimbledon (1996, 1998, 2015) and two on the New York hardcourts in 1998 with Jana Novotna and this year.
