Cara Black and Sania Mirza needed just 59 minutes to defeat defending champions Hsieh Su-Wei and Peng Shuai, 6-1, 6-0, in the doubles final at the BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore ... This was the last tournament for Sania and Cara as partner, Cara is already declared she will sit out in 2015 season for giving more time to her family ... So this was fairytale ending for Sania-Cara partnership to lift year-end tournament title ... With this Sania become first Indian player to lift year-end title.
In their previous two matches Sania-Cara needed to save match points before winning these matches ... In the final they had different plan ... Peng-Hsieh won first game but afterwards it was one-way traffic ... Sania-Cara won next twelve games in a row for this dominating win breaking their opponents six times in the match.
Sania Mirza - "That's tennis, it gives you another chance. You've got to fight and this just proves it, and today we won the tournament. It's been an amazing ride, an amazing journey."
Cara Black - "We started off with a bang and now we're ending with a bang. We've had such an amazing year and had so much fun and built a great friendship, which is so special too. It's sad that this is our last tournament, but it's great to have these moments to share."
