US Open champions Sania Mirza and her Swiss partner Martina Hingis continued their golden run as they clinched the Guangzhou Open women's doubles title in Guangzhou, on Saturday.

Sania and Hingis eased to a convincing 6-3, 6-1 victory against the Chinese pairing of Shilin Xu and Xiaodi You in the final to claim their sixth title of the year.

The Indo-Swiss duo continued their splendid run in 2015, having already clinched two Grand Slams doubles title this year -- Wimbledon and US Open.
