Top seeds Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis reached the Madrid Open doubles final with a crushing 6-2, 6-0 win over Vania King and Alla Kudryavtseva in the lop-sided semi-final at Madrid on Friday.

It will be second consecutive final for the Indo-Swiss team after ending runners-up in Stuttgart.

After their incredible run, that included nine title victories on the trot, Sania and Martina have lost to only four teams and Vania and Alla are one of them.

Sania and Martina had lost to the American-Russian team in the second round of Indian Wells but did not give them any chance on Friday, trampling them over in just 50 minutes.

The top seeds did not allow their opponents to hold their serve even once in the entire match. The unseeded pair got on board in the first set because the top seeds dropped their serve twice

Mirza and Hingis will now challenge fifth seeds Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic for the title. Carolina and Kristina ousted eighth seeds Elena Vesnina and Ekaterina Makarova 6-2, 6-3 in the other semi-final.

Sania and Martina have already won titles in Sydeny, Brisbane, Australian Open and St Petersburg this season.
