Women's doubles top seeds Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis defeated fourth seeded Casey Dellacqua and Yaroslava Shvedova 6-3, 6-3 in New York on Sunday to claim the US Open title.
The Indo-Swiss pair took only 69 minutes to conquer the Australian-Kazakh pair at the Arthur Ashe stadium on September 13.
It was Sania and Martina's second women's doubles Grand Slam title together after winning the Wimbledon earlier this year and they played with supreme confidence to win the tournament without dropping a set. It was Sania's fifth success at the Majors (two women's doubles and three mixed doubles crowns).
Sania's partnership with Martina has helped her become the first Indian women's player to be ranked World No. 1 in the doubles rankings.
Sunday's final was Sania's first in the category at US Open. She won the mixed doubles title last year with Brazilian Bruno Soares.
For Martina, the tournament turned out to be a memorable won as she lifted her second trophy at the Flushing Meadows this year on September 13, after bagging the mixed doubles crown on September 11 with another Indian, Leander Paes. It was also her fifth Grand Slam title this year, and 20th of her career across all three disciplines (five singles, 11 doubles and four mixed doubles).
The Swiss now just the third active player to have 20 major trophies (after Serena Willams' 36 and Venus Williams' 22).
"It has been a great year for us," Sania said after the win.
"To win Wimbledon was a great year. Then to come back and back it up to win the US Open, we feel like we're a really solid team. And we came through again today."
"From the start, we hit it off," Martina said.
"Our games work well together."
