Hingis and Mirza First to Qualify for Singapore

Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza weren’t able to capture the #SantinaSlam at Roland Garros, but the pair have confirmed their qualification for this year’s WTA Finals. Hingis and Mirza are the first team to qualify, and will defend their title in their second appearance as a team in Singapore. The competition begins on 27 October.

"Being able to achieve such great success together has been a dream come true. Having won the WTA Finals in Singapore last year as well as multiple tournaments in such a short period of time has been an unbelievable experience,” Mirza said. “I'm very much looking forward to competing in Singapore once again to try to make it three titles in a row."

Since beginning their collaboration at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells in 2015, Hingis and Mirza have reeled off 14 titles, including three Grand Slams and the WTA Finals. The pair also amassed a 41-match winning streak that stretched from August to February, and was finally halted in the quarterfinals of the Qatar Open by Elena Vesnina and Daria Kasatkina.

"We enjoyed every moment in Singapore last year and hope to defend our title amongst the best doubles teams in the world," Mirza said.
