India’s Sania Mirza and her Swiss
partner Martina Hingis on Thursday
broke a 22-year-old world record by
winning their 29th women’s doubles
match in a row en route to their entry
into the women’s doubles final of the
WTA Sydney International, in Sydney.
The World No 1 pair came from behind
to beat the pair of Romanian Raluca
Olaru and Kazakhstan’s Yaroslava
Shvedova 4-6, 6-3, 10-8 in a closely-
fought semifinal.
They now surpassed the pair of Puerto
Rican Gigi Fernandez and Belarus’
Natasha Zvereva, who won 28 matches
on the trot during their successful
pairing back in 1994.
The Indo-Swiss pair has continued
their good show from 2015 when they
won 9 titles which included the
Wimbledon, US Open and the year-
ending WTA finals.
The 2016 has also started on a
fabulous note as they have now made
it to the second straight final, having
won the Brisbane International last week.
