LONDON — Martina Hingis is a Wimbledon champion once again, 17 years — exactly half her life — after the last time.
Already a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame on the merits of her "first" career in the sport, Hingis teamed with Sania Mirza to win the women's doubles final at the All England Club by beating Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina 5-7, 7-6 (4), 7-5 on Saturday night.
The 34-year-old Hingis added to her collection of Wimbledon trophies that includes the singles title from 1997, plus the women's doubles titles from 1996 and 1998.
