Sania Mirza and Huber win Bangalore title

Sania Mirza and doubles partner Huber from South African Liezel won the doubles title at the $175,000 WTA Bangalore Open on Sunday. Third-seeded Italian Mara Santangelo won the singles title.

"This is one of my best tournaments" said Sania Mirza. "At my age and given my ranking, my focus is on singles, but I give equal importance to doubles too. I lost early in the singles here, but I stayed and focused on the doubles. I had a great partner and here I am now."

"Sania is a good listener," said Huber. "I like taking charge in the team, and it is great when you have someone who can execute the plan you make. It just makes everything so much easier".

Third-seeded Italian Mara Santangelo overcame a stiff challenge from sixth-seeded Croatian Jelena Kostanic to win the singles title with a 3-6, 7-6 (7/5), 6-3 victory.
