Indian Tennis Icon Sania Mirza is retaining its number 1 spot for the doubles. Although, the partners Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis couldn't defend their WTA Finals Singapore title but number 1 spot still belongs to them. It's been 2 years since the iconic partners are holding the spot.

In the WTA semi-finals, the pair was defeated by Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina. Winning team then won the final against Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Lucie Safarova. If They would have lost the finals then Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis would have been fallen to number 2 spot.

“I am very happy. It’s an amazing honour to be number one for the second year. It has been an amazing journey for me,” Sania said on Sunday from Singapore. “For me, this has been an unbelievable journey and the kind of stuff that dreams are made of! I’ve always felt that reaching the pinnacle in any sphere of activity is a huge achievement but staying there for a prolonged period is even more difficult than getting there for the first time,” Sania said.

“The fact that only 3 legends of the women’s game – Navratilova, Black and Huber – have had a longer consecutive stint at the top in the history of women’s doubles tennis makes it even more satisfying for me,” she had said after celebrating her 80th consecutive week as the women’s doubles World Number one.
