Sania Mirza combined with former world number one Martina Hingis late Saturday to win a thrilling women's doubles final in the 2015 edition of the Wimbledon championships.
They beat Russia's Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina 5-7 7-6 (7-4) 7-5, BBC reported.
The win marked a first Wimbledon title for Mirza, who is the number one-ranked female doubles player. Hingis is ranked second.
Hingis was Wimbledon singles champion in 1997 and last appeared in a final at the All England Club in 1998, when she won the women's doubles.
On Saturday, Mirza was making her first appearance alongside Hingis at a major doubles final and the pair combined to play their part in a match that thrilled the Centre Court crowd.
After losing the first set, Hingis and Mirza edged a closely-fought second set in the tie-break and then came back from 5-2 down in the third, winning five successive games to secure the title.
The 34-year-old Hingis also plays in the mixed doubles final on Sunday.
