— Sania Mirza (@MirzaSania) October 3, 2015Sania and Hingis had it relatively easy in the second round, quarterfinals and semifinals after getting a first round bye in the tournament.
Sania and Hingis dropped serve three times and fought back from a 2-0 deficit in the second set to emerge triumphant in the summit clash on Saturday.
With today's win, the Indo-Swiss pairing has seven WTA doubles titles together this year -- Indian Wells, Miami, Charleston, Wimbledon, the US Open, Guangzhou and Wuhan.
They have won their last three tournaments and their last 13 matches without dropping a single set.
They now head to the China Open in Beijing, where they have been given the top billing.
