Sania Mirza, Leander Paes enters into finals with martina hingis in US Open 2015 doubles






In a double delight for Indian fans, veteran tennis star Leander 

Paes and Sania Mirza stormed into the finals of the US Open 

mixed doubles and women’s doubles draw respectively with 

common partner Martina Hingis. Fourth seeds Paes and Hingis 

were in top form as they staved off a tough challenge from the 

second-seeded pair of Rohan Bopanna and Yung-Jan Chan of 

Chinese Taipei 6-2, 7-5. Both the teams served four aces each but 

the Bopanna-Chan combine suffered on the unforced errors count, 

which was 12 as compared to 9 from Paes and Hingis. 

    The Indo-Swiss pair will now face the US duo of Bethanie 

Mattek-Sands and Sam Querrey. Earlier Hingis combined superbly 

with Sania as the duo made it look relatively simple against the 

Italian pair of Sara Errani and Flavia Pennetta 6-4, 6-1. The top-

seeded pair will take on the winner of the second semi-final match 

between Casey Dellacqua (Australia) Yaroslava Shvedova 

(Kazakhstan) and Anna-Lena Groenefeld (Germany)-Coco 

Vandeweghe (USA). Both the Indian players saw success on Court 

17 as a host of nation’s tennis fans turned up to back their stars in 

action. Paes thanked all the fans, who came in numbers to support 

the stars. “I thank all the Indians who came here to support me and 

Martina and also Sania and Martina in the other game,” Paes said. 

There was disappointment though in the Junior Girls Singles 

category as Karman Kaur Thandi’s winning run ended against 

Dalma Galfi in the third round. The 17-year-old Indian went down 

against the second-seeded German 6-4, 7-6.
