After winning the Cincinnati Open last month, Sania and her Czech partner Barbora Strycova recently won the Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo.
Sania and Strycova have lost just once since pairing up in Cincinnati, reaching the quarterfinals of the US Open and taking home a second title at the Pan Pacific Open.
