Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis, the top seeds, prevailed 6-0 6-3 over their eight-seeded rivals in a lopsided summit clash, which lasted little over an hour.
This triumph is especially huge for Martina as the trophy was her 50th WTA doubles title, a milestone only 15 players have reached.

Before this, Sania Mirza  and Martina Hingis had won eight titles - Indian Wells, Miami, Charleston, Wimbledon, US Open, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Beijing and finished runner-up just once (Rome - falling to WTA Rising Stars Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic)

This triumph is especially huge for Hingis as the trophy was her 50th WTA doubles title, a milestone only 15 players have reached (Martina Navratilova, Rosie Casals, Pam Shriver, Billie Jean King, Natasha Zvereva, Lisa Raymond, Jana Novotna, Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario, Gigi Fernandez, Helena Sukova, Larisa Neiland, Cara Black, Rennae Stubbs, Wendy Turnbull and Liezel Huber)

Sania and Hingis are now unbeaten in 22 matches, stretching back six tournaments. In fact, since their last defeat - to Chan Hao-Ching and Chan Yung-Jan in Cincinnati - they have dropped just two sets.

The 2015 WTA Finals is a women's Tennis Tournament at Singapore which will be the 45th edition of the singles event and the 40th edition of the doubles competition.

Cara Black and Sania Mirza were the defending champions, but Black did not qualify this year. SAnia Mirza played alongside Martina Hingis and successfully defended her title, defeating Spanish pair of Garbine Muguruza and Carla Suarez Navarro 6-0,6-3
