Switzerland’s Martina Hingis and Britain’s Jamie Murray fought off a match point to defeat Chan Hao-ching and Michael Venus 6-1, 4-6 (10-8) to claim the US Open mixed doubles title on Saturday Sep 09,2017
The top-seeded partnership, which won their first tournament together at Wimbledon in July, pushed their team record to an unblemished 10-0 with the win over the number three seed.
Hingis, a former world number one singles player who won the US Open title 20 years ago, praised her partner, who is the brother of world number two Andy Murray.
“He’s a great partner to have. His wingspan as you saw at the end,” she said, referring to Murray’s reaching overhead smash that ended the tight super-tiebreaker to cap off the contest.
It is Hingis’ second US Open mixed doubles crown in three years and seventh mixed title overall.
