2015 WTA Awards: Tennis' Women of the Year

#2 Doubles Team of the Year Sania Mirza & Martina Hingis

Mirza Hingis 2015 Guangzhou 2015

This was probably a match made in heaven. No women’s pair in recent times has dominated the field in the way that Sania and Hingis did.

Hingis’ craft, especially near the net, and Mirza’s thunderous groundstrokes have ensured that SanTina, formed during Indian Wells early this year, broke from the rest like Bolt in action.

The pair won the final two Grand Slams of the year at Wimbledon and the US Open, and then went on to win several other titles finishing the year, even winning the WTA Finals without dropping a set.

In worrying news for their opponents, SanTina won the award without even beginning the year together. The two doubles players are 1 and 2 on the rankings with 11355 points, with American Bethanie Mattek-Sands finishing in third on the doubles chart with 7450.

The Indo-Swiss pair finished the year on a high, winning their fourth consecutive tournament at the WTA China Open and eighth overall in the year.

Following their win at the WTA Finals in Singapore, the pair took their ninth title victory of the year.

And I prayed when Sachin bowled the final over against SA. And I smiled when Goran finally won the Wimbledon. And I wept when Zidane had to walk out. And I jumped when Bryant dunked. And I..and I..and I...sports..and I live to feel what they go through on the field.
