Martina Hingis changes doubles partner for Indian Wells and Miami

Martina Hingis and Sania Mirza are to team up for the upcoming Premier Mandatory tournaments in Indian Wells and Miami.

The move ends Hingis' brief yet fruitful partnership with Flavia Pennetta, with whom she won two WTA titles and reached the US Open final. Pennetta will now join forces with Mirza's former partner, Hsieh Su-Wei.

Despite only teaming up towards the end of last season, Hingis and Pennetta came within a whisker of qualifying for the BNP Paribas WTA Finals Singapore presented by SC Global, thanks in no small part to their run in New York. 

In their absence, Mirza and then partner Cara Black took home the spoils in Singapore, prevailing in a dramatic doubles competition.
