Sania Mirza-Martina Hingis enters into US Open 2015 quarter final
Sania Mirza and her Swiss partner Martina Hingis stormed into the
US Open quarterfinals with a straight-set triumph in their third-
round match. The top-seeded Indo-Swiss pair eased past 13th
seeded Dutch-Czech combination of Michaella Krajicek and
Barbora Strycova 6-3 6-0 in a contest which lasted 59 minutes.
Sania and Martina put up a thoroughly dominating performance by
holding their serve all through.
In the opening set, the top seeds broke their rivals once and sent
down 14 winners as compared to the 8 by Krajicek and Strycova to
grab the advantage in 33 minutes. Krajicek and Strycova were even
more erratic in the second set and conceded six break points, three
of which were converted by Sania and Martina. With 9 unforced
errors, Krajicek and Strycova literally served the match on a platter
for Sania and Martina, who wrapped up the second set in just 26
minutes to march ahead. Next up for the Indo-Swiss combination
are ninth seeds Yung-Jan Chan and Hao-Ching Chan of Chinese
Taipei, who rallied to beat unseeded Romanians Irina-Camelia
Begu and Raluca Olaru 5-7 6-1 7-6 (4)
