Fresh after winning their maiden title at the Paribas Open last month, Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza and her Swiss partner Martina Hingis entered the women's doubles semi-fnals at the Miami Open.
The top-seeded Indo-Swiss duo served past the Rodionova sisters, Anastasia and Arina, 6-3, 6-4 in the quarter-finals.
The Sania-Hingis pairing is much-talked about on the tennis circuit and the top seeds lived up to the hype by claiming their first title win in their maiden appearance together at Indian Wells last month.
Hingis has won 11 Grand Slams in doubles (nine women's and two mixed) while Sania has three, all mixed.
The duo, which decided to unite in February, will now meet the seventh-seeded Hungary-French combine of Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic in the last four clash.
