Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis’ Winning Streak Record Comes To Halt At 41

Top ranked women’s doubles team Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza had their 41-match win streak halted on Thursday when they were crushed in the quarter-finals of the Qatar Open.

The Swiss and Indian, the present Wimbledon, U.S. Open and Australian Open champions, were beaten 2-6, 6-4, 10-5 by Russian pair Elena Vesnina and Daria Kasatkina.

“That was an amazing match for us,” Vesnina was quoted as stating by the WTA Tour.

“We played against them just a week ago, and they’re one of the greatest doubles teams we have in women’s tennis. i think everything worked today for us to win, and we’re just so excited about it.”

Mirza and Hingis had started their win streak in September during the U.S. Open, the first of nine straight titles.

If that they had won the Qatar event they'd have tied Natasha Zvereva of Belarus and Czech Jana Novotna’s 1990 mark of 44 consecutive wins.

The longest women’s doubles win streak, at a record of 109 matches, set by the American pair Martina Navratilova and Pam Shriver between 1983 and 1985.

The superstar duo, though got away from their winning streak, they sure had set a tremendous record in Women Tennis.
