Sania Mirza was over the top after she won the women’s doubles title at Wimbledon 2015 with her Swiss partner Martina Hingis.

“This is the best tennis I have ever played,” Sania told NDTV after winning her maiden women’s doubles title at a Grand Slam. “This is special given it is the Wimbledon,” she told NDTV

It was Mirza’s maiden women’s doubles title at a Grand Slam although she has won three mixed doubles at the majors.

Hingis can be back amongst the silverware on Sunday when she and Leander Paes face Alexander Peya and Timea Babos in the mixed doubles championship match. Sania said she would wait for her celebrations.

“I’ll wait for Martina and Leander to play their final and then celebrate,” she told NDTV.

Sania’s father Imran was emotional and told NDTV: “I broke the Ramzan fast and exactly at that moment she won the last point and the match.”

Hingis, 34, and 28-year-old Sania came from a set down and 2-5 behind in the final set to beat Russian duo Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina 5-7, 7-6 (7/4), 7-5. Sania told NDTV the Russian opponents were very aggressive.

It was the top seeds’ first Grand Slam title as a team having only decided to play together in March this year.
