After splitting with Swiss tennis ace Martina Hingis in August this year, Sania was pitted against the Swiss in the final of Cincinnati Open.
With her new partner Barbora Strycova, Sania rallied from being 5-1 down in the first set against Hingis and Coco Vandeweghe of USA, to win 7-5, 6-4 and clinch the Cincinnati Open title in Cincinnati, Ohio.
With the win, Sania retained her number one status on the women's doubles ranking as Hingis slipped to the second spot.
