Sania Mirza and Elena Vesnina are new world no.2 in Tennis after their great performance in Wimbledon 2011. India’s Sania Mirza and Russian girl Elena Vesnina reached last four in Wimbledon this year. The pair of Sania Mirza and Elena Vesnina was ranked 4 for the Wimbledon.
This season has been incredible for both 24 year old girls. They paired up in February this year and won titles in Indian Wells and Charleston, besides making the French Open final.
Sania, 24, who is vacationing in Dubai with cricketer husband Shoaib Malik, said: "When we started playing together earlier this year, if anyone told us that we'd be the No. 2 doubles team in the world after Wimbledon, we'd have laughed at them. We are one Slam behind everybody else; still we've already done exceptionally well. Elena always says, 'Wish we played together from the Australian Open.' The goal is to make the season-ending championships and we're going to do whatever it takes to be there."
Vesnina, 24, from the Black Sea coast of Sochi, said: "I'd be lying if I told you we're not thinking about the season-ending championships. It's a prestigious event, only the top four teams make the cut and we want to be there.
"Of course we are both singles players first and that remains the priority, but we're also doing great in doubles and we're not going to let an opportunity like this slip."
