TENNIS// Indian tennis player Sania Mirza made history by becoming the first Indian woman to become the No 1 doubles player in the world. She, along with partner, Martina Hingis (herself a former world no 1 in singles) won the WTA Family Circle Cup in the United States and this win gave Sania the points to go to the top of the table. Mirza and Hingis have had a great run since they paired up in March. The WTA Family Circle Cup is the third title they have won in a row and the pair has not lost a single tournament. For Sania, the past 12 months have been full of high moments. She won the US Open in 2014, followed by the Asian Games gold medal and the year-end WTA title. Hingis, who retired from playing tennis singles in 2007, is having an incredible run with Indian partners. She won the Australian Open mixed doubles title in January 2015 with Leander Paes and is now playing extremely well with Sania Mirza in the women’s doubles events.
