Leander Paes and Martina Hingis claimed their first title together by winning the mixed doubles title at the Australian Open by defeating Kristina Mladenovic and Daniel Nestor 6-4, 6-4 in straight sets in Melbourne on Sunday.

The seventh seed Indo-Swiss pair had to hardly break any sweat against the third seed Russian-Canadain pair.

This is Paes’ 15th Grand Slam title and 7th in the mixed doubles.

Later in the day, the all important men’s singles final between Serbian Novak Djokovic and British Andy Murray is scheduled.
