India's Sania Mirza and her Swiss partner Martina Hingis produced a stirring fightback to claim the Wimbledon women's doubles title under the Centre Court roof lights on Saturday.
Sania and Hingis claimed a thrilling 5-7, 7-6 (4), 7-5 victory against Russians Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina.
This is Sania's first doubles Grand Slam title and she becomes the first Indian woman to achieve the feat.
