Sania Mirza on Sunday created history by becoming the first female tennis player from India to achieve the World No 1 rank in doubles, following her stupendous title win at the WTA Family Circle Cup with partner Martina Hingis in Charleston.
The top-seeded Indo-Swiss pair blew away the challenge of Casey Dellacqua and Darija Jurak 6-0, 6-4 in just 57 minutes in the lop-sided final of the $ 731,000 clay court event.
Sania took 470 points from the win to take her tally to 7965 as she jumped past Italy's Sara Errani (7640) and Roberta Vinci (7640) to sit atop the ranking table.
The official ranking chart will be issued on Monday.
