Paes, Hingis win Wimbledon mixed doubles

LONDON – Martina Hingis has won her second Wimbledon title in as many days, after pairing with India veteran Leander Paes to take the mixed doubles with a 6-1 6-1 victory over Alexander Peya and Timea Babos.

Hingis had won the women’s doubles with Sania Mirza on Sunday before coming back yesterday to secure a 40-minute triumph.

Paes and Hingis had also won the Australian Open mixed doubles in January this year.

It was 42-year-old Paes’s eighth grand slam mixed title and a third for Swiss legend Hingis.

“With Leander, we played TeamTennis (in the United States) for the last two years. Since then it’s been a great ride for me.

“I feel already like quarter India,” said Hingis, whose last Wimbledon title before this weekend was back in 1998 in the women’s doubles.”
