India’s tennis star Sania Mirza continued to dominate the top position in the World Tennis Association’s latest womens doubles rankings, just five points ahead of her estranged partner Martina Hingis.

After winning the Cincinnati Open last month, Sania and her Czech partner Barbora Strycova recently won the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo.
