The top seeds recovered from the loss of the second set to defeat the 12-seeded pair 6-4, 4-6, 6-1 in a match that lasted one hour, 38 minutes.

Since teaming up at Indian Wells in March last year, the Indo-Swiss duo have bagged eleven women’s doubles titles, including two Grand Slam titles at Wimbledon and the US Open.

The pair has also made the perfect start to the season, winning back-to-back titles at the Brisbane and Sydney International events. Their last loss was to the Chan sisters in the Cincinnati Masters, before the start of the US Open.
