Hobart [Australia], Jan 17 (ANI): Sania Mirza and her Ukrainian partner Nadia Kichenok on Friday progressed to the women's doubles finals of the Hobart International.
The duo defeated Marie Bouzkova and Tamara Zidansek 7-6, 6-2 in about an hour and 33 minutes.
Mirza and Kichenok were trailing in the first set, but the duo managed to stage a comeback to win it and send their opponents on the backfoot.
Carrying their winning momentum, the duo did not give the opponents a chance in the second set and ended up winning the match.
On Thursday, they had won against USA's pair of Vania King and Christina McHale 6-2, 4-6, 10-4 in the quarterfinals.
33-year-old Sania last played at China Open in October 2017.
Earlier in December, she was named in the five-member Fed Cup team announced by All India Tennis Association (AITA) to represent the country in the Fed Cup Asia/Oceania Group I event.
