Martina Hingis reaches world number 1 in doubles
She is currently holding the numero uno position jointly with India's Sania Mirza.
Sania and Hingis on Friday won the 11th WTA doubles title together in Sydney.
"It's a really nice feeling having that No.1 ahead of your name," Hingis told WTA website.
"It's definitely something I was aiming for, and with Sania I felt like I had the opportunity to get there. When she became No.1 in Charleston I was just as happy as when I did it myself," she said.
Mirza told the website: "I'm so happy for her that 16 years later she's become No.1 again."
