Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis, the pair who ruled the World for over an year with three Grand Slam and eleven WTA titles, has finally decided to split due to their poor results in the recent past.
Together, Sania & Hingis won 14 titles. The sensational duo is popularly known as 'Santina' and Sania became World No.1 after teaming up with Hingis. Tennis Fans expected their partnership to last for several years. However, Both Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis confirmed that they were parting ways.
In her Instagram post, Martiina Hingis wrote: 'After three Grand Slam victories and eleven WTA doubles titles together, we have mutually agreed that we would each be open to playing with other players for the remainder of the season. Perhaps, because of our great past results, we have had very high expectations from our partnership and unfortunately did not get the results we desired recently. We would like to clarify that it was a totally professional decision based purely on our recent results. The professional decision has not and will not in any way affect the wonderful personal relationship that we continue to share. We also look forward to defending our title in the year-end WTA Finals in Singapore in October for which Santina has already qualified.We hope that this puts to rest some of the fabricated stories that have been doing the rounds in some sections of the media. Best Sania and Martina'.
