Sania Mirza wins Top Prize

The world of Tennis has a new champion for the title of #1 in Women’s Tennis Doubles.  Sania Mirza became the first Indian to climb to the top of the WTA doubles ranking after she teamed up with Swiss great Martina Hingis to claim the Family Circle Cup title.

“When you start off as a child playing tennis, you dream of being No.1 in the world. It’s a dream for every person; very few get there. I feel extremely honored to be No.1, it’s something that I’ve worked for all my life,” – said Mirza.

The 28-year-old Mirza, who decided to focus on doubles in 2012 after a recurring wrist injury, won a third consecutive doubles title partnering Hingis and her 25th overall on the WTA Tour.
