Martina Hingis is a Wimbledon champion for the first time since 1998.

The 34-year-old Swiss player, already a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, teamed up with Sania Mirza of India to win the women’s doubles title on Saturday.

Hingis and Mirza, the top-seeded team at the tournament, beat No. 2 Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina of Russia 5-7, 7-6 (4), 7-5, playing the final two games under the roof on Centre Court.

Makarova and Vesnina served for the match while leading 5-3 in the third set, but Makarova’s serve was broken. After Mirza held to 5-5, the match was briefly suspended because of darkness so the roof could be closed.

When play resumed, Hingis and Mirza managed to break Vesnina before Hingis served out the match.

Hingis, whose past Wimbledon titles include women’s doubles in 1996 and 1998, and singles in 1997, will go for another one in the mixed doubles final on Sunday with partner Leander Paes of India.
