恭喜Mirza！
與Hingis搭檔繼續保持不敗，14連勝連三站奪冠，兩人組合也升上Race第一。
近年專政女雙的Mirza成為WTA史上第33位女雙球后，
是印度女子網球第一人，亞洲第四人。
Mirza在過去12個月摘下七個冠軍，雖然沒有大滿貫冠軍，
但至少也有一座年終賽加持。
由於Errani/Vinci拆夥，看來Mirza會穩坐女雙球后一段時間。
CHARLESTON, SC, USA - Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza kept their perfect start
going on Sunday, adding the Family Circle Cup title to their BNP Paribas Open
and Miami Open titles, and with that win made history - Mirza clinched the
World No.1 doubles ranking, the first Indian woman to be No.1.
After not even losing a set in their first two tournaments together in Indian
Wells and Miami, Hingis and Mirza were certainly tested in Charleston - they
lost sets in their quarterfinal and semifinal matches, even facing match
point against Anabel Medina Garrigues and Yaroslava Shvedova in the semis.
But the No.1-seeded Swiss-Indian duo beat Casey Dellacqua and Darija Jurak in
straight sets for the title, 6-0, 6-4, missing two match points at 5-3 in the
second set but closing it out a game later.
"It's a dream for every kid to be No.1 one day," Mirza to the crowd said at
the trophy ceremony.
"I can't think of a better person to do it with. When we came here we had one
thing in mind, to get No.1, and she really helped me get there. She helped me
through some tough moments this week. She's just a great person and a great
player. We also become the No.1 team in the world today with this.
"I hope we have many, many more tournaments and end the year on a high as
well."
Mirza kept the smiles coming as she kept praising Hingis, a former World No.1
herself.
"I don't want to make you feel old, but I did watch you as a kid!" she said,
drawing laughter from Hingis and the crowd. "You were an idol to most young
girls at the time. You made it when you were 15!"
And on reaching No.1 in Charleston? "No tournament has been as special to me
as the Family Circle Cup," Mirza added, "and no tournament will ever be as
special to me, because I became No.1 here."
Hingis and Mirza had already reached a milestone by making the semifinals in
Charleston, securing a rise to No.1 on the Road To Singapore doubles
leaderboard, the journey to the doubles event at the BNP Paribas WTA Finals
Singapore presented by SC Global, which takes place in October.
But Mirza becoming World No.1 in doubles is something that will go down in
WTA history - she's the first Indian woman to reach No.1 in tennis, in either
singles or doubles, and just the fourth Asian woman to do it, after Japan's
Ai Sugiyama, China's Peng Shuai and Chinese Taipei's Hsieh Su-Wei.
Mirza has won seven WTA doubles titles over the last 12 months - Oeiras,
Tokyo [Pan Pacific] and the WTA Finals last year with Cara Black, Sydney
earlier this year with Bethanie Mattek-Sands, and of course the
aforementioned Indian Wells, Miami and Charleston titles this year alongside
Hingis.
