Martina Hingis earned her 11th Grand Slam women’s doubles title and second at the U.S. Open. Hingis (at left in photo) paired with Sania Mirza of India to beat Casey Dellacqua of Australia and Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan 6-3, 6-3 in the U.S. Open final Sunday. The title comes 18 years after Hingis’ first major in doubles, at the Australian Open. “We all felt like there was a little bit of nervousness, definitely, especially today because … it’s been a while, 18 years,” said Hingis, who won the 1998 U.S. Open doubles with Jana Novotna. “But it feels like it’s doing it all over again. It’s like I don’t think about, ‘OK, last time, it was 18 years ago.’ It’s what counts for me is, like, right now, today in this moment.” Hingis also won the U.S. Open mixed doubles title this year with Leander Paes. – AP
