Sania-Bethanie duo reigns supreme

Cincinnati: Sania Mirza and Bethanie Mattek lived up to their top billing to clinch the doubles title after a thrilling final at the $175,000 Western & Southern Financial Group Women’s Open.

Sania and her American partner defeated Russian Alina Jidkova and Tatiana Poutchek of Belarus 7-6(4), 7-5 on Sunday.

For Sania, it was her second Tour doubles title this year and overall fifth while Mattek won her second WTA title.

Sania said she was satisfied with her performance and gave the credit of the win to team effort.

“We played better matches this week, but we’re still happy to win. I have to get along with somebody off the court to play with them; Bethanie and I are a good team,” the Indian tennis star said.

Mattek praised Sania for her forehand shots.

“We are a really good mixture. We’re both solid on the baseline and Sania has a good forehand, so it opens up the court. Same with our serves,” the American said. — PTI
