2015 Wimbledon - Triple glory for India at Wimbledon 2015

 

This year India ushered into a new glory at the majestic Wimbledon championships. A veteran in Paes, a tennis beauty in Sania and a shining star in the making - Sumit Nagal - gave India a memorable outing at the All England Club.
Historic moment: It's a hat-trick of titles for India at Wimbledon 2015!

First it was Sania Mirza who created history by winning her first Wimbledon title, claiming the women's doubles crown with her legendary partner, Switzerland's Martina Hingis, and becoming the first woman in the country to win a grand slam in doubles on Saturday July 11,2015
 



The very next day on Sunday July 12,2015, a vintage Leander Paes clinched his 16th Grand Slam trophy, winning the mixed doubles event with legendary Martina Hingis(Swiss) after a dominating win over Alexander Peya and Timea Babos by 6-1,6-1
