Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza etched her name in the record books as she became the first Indian woman to win a Grand Slam title in women’s doubles. Partnering with Swiss legend Martina Hingis, the formidable duo claimed the 2015 US Open crown with a commanding straight-sets victory.
The Indo-Swiss pair outclassed the team of Casey Dellacqua (Australia) and Yaroslava Shvedova (Kazakhstan) 6-3, 6-3 in the final at Flushing Meadows, New York. The win marked their second Grand Slam title together, following their triumph at Wimbledon earlier the same year, and reinforced their dominance as one of the most consistent doubles pairings on the WTA Tour.
Sania’s aggressive baseline play combined with Hingis’s finesse at the net proved too strong for their opponents. With this win, Mirza not only made India proud but also cemented her status as a global tennis icon and trailblazer for women in Indian sports.
“This victory is incredibly special,” said Sania after the match. “To win the US Open with Martina is a dream. We’ve worked hard and complement each other well on court. This title means the world to me and to Indian tennis.”
Mirza’s victory was more than just a personal achievement—it was a landmark moment in Indian sports, inspiring countless young athletes to dream big and chase global glory.
