PARIS — After a 15-year absence, Martina Hingis once again played — and won — a women's doubles match at the French Open.
Hingis and Sania Mirza, the first woman from India to rank No. 1 in singles or doubles, are the top-seeded pairing at Roland Garros and made a successful Grand Slam debut as a partnership, beating Julia Goerges and Barbora Krejcikova 6-3, 6-0 on Wednesday.
"I had enough of a break, so I'm fresh again," said Hingis, who is 34 and in the midst of a third career on tour after two stints in temporary retirement.
