Christina McHale and CoCo Vandeweghe, who were wildcards into the draw, broke the Hingis serve for a 2-1 lead in the first set, but from there it was all Hingis and Mirza - the No.1-seeded Swiss-Indian duo powered through 11 of the next 14 games to move through in an hour and three minutes, 6-4, 6-1.
"Unlike the guys, in women's tennis a lot of the singles players play doubles, and they beat some good teams to get here," Mirza said.
"It's almost more dangerous to play teams like that because they really have nothing to lose, and we also don't really know how to play them because they're a new team.
"They're both talented, they're both young, and they have a great future ahead of them. If they keep playing together I'm sure we'll be seeing them in the later rounds of tournaments in the future.
" Mirza also said their first match of the week, a tougher 7-6(3), 6-4 victory against Julia Goerges and Klaudia Jans-Ignacik on Wednesday, helped them out in their quarterfinal against the Americans.
