Mirza, Hingis reach 40-love

AFP, SAINT PETERSBURG: Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis recorded their 40th successive win on Sunday when they captured the St Petersburg women’s doubles title and then set their sights on breaking a record which has stood for over 25 years.
The India and Swiss pair, nicknamed ‘SanTina’, defeated Vera Dushevina and Barbora Krejcikova 6-3, 6-1 in the final.
They are now close to setting the longest winning streak since 1990, when Jana Novotna and Helena Sukova won 44 in a row.
“We’re obviously very happy to win another title but now that we’re coming closer and closer to the next target of 44, we can’t help but think about,” admitted Mirza.
