Hingis and Mirza win doubles title

Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza have won the Australian Open women's doubles title to make it three Grand Slams in a row.

The top seeds beat Czech pair Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka 7-6 (7-1) 6-3 in the final at Melbourne Park.

Switzerland's Hingis and India's Mirza, who had already won at Wimbledon and the US Open, will be targeting a clean sweep at the French Open.

Hingis now has five Australian Open women's doubles titles.

She won in 1997, 1998 and 1999 with Natasha Zvereva, Mirjana Lucic and Anna Kournikova respectively and again in 2002 with Kournikova.
