d. Ankita Raina
ANSWER: Sania Mirza
The top-seeded Indo-Swiss pair blew away the challenge of Casey Dellacqua and Darija Jurak in the final match. Sania is also first female player from the country to win Grand Slam tournaments. It is Sania's third successive title win with Hingis and they have not lost as a single match since joining forces in March. Before Sania, only Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhuapthi had achieved the top rank when they dominated men's doubles circuit in the last 90s.
