Martina Hingis Reveals Real Reason For Split With Sania Mirza

Darpan News Desk IANS, 11 Aug, 2016 12:29 PM
    Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis, who began their partnership in March 2015, have ended their 16-month partnership due to a string of recent poor results.
     
    Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis' partnership took the tennis world by storm in 2015 when they won nine titles, including three Grand Slam titles.
     
    Their duo, labeled 'Santina' were on top of the world and it seemed many titles would come their way. 
     
    However, on Monday, it was announced that the duo were separating due to recent poor results.
     
    While sources close to Sania confirmed the split in an interview to media, Hingis has taken to her official Instagram account (@martinahingis80) to explain the reasons behind their split
     
     

    After three Grand Slam victories and eleven WTA doubles titles together, we have mutually agreed that we would each be open to playing with other players for the remainder of the season. Perhaps, because of our great past results, we have had very high expectations from our partnership and unfortunately did not get the results we desired recently. We would like to clarify that it was a totally professional decision based purely on our recent results. The professional decision has not and will not in any way affect the wonderful personal relationship that we continue to share. We also look forward to defending our title in the year-end WTA Finals in Singapore in October for which Santina has already qualified.We hope that this puts to rest some of the fabricated stories that have been doing the rounds in some sections of the media. Best Sania and Martina
