Sania Mirza and martina hingis into final of the australian open 2016

MELBOURNE, Australia - Fifty-four minutes was all it took for martina hingis and Sania mirza to brush aside Goerges and Pliskova and take their place in a third Grand Slam final.

The top seeds, who dropped a rare set in the previous round, were back to their imperious best, triumphing 6-1, 6-0 to stretch their unbeaten streak to 35 matches.

Goerges and Pliskova started brightly enough, holding comfortably then carving out four break points in the third game. However, this was as good as it got for the underdogs, who failed to add to their tally as Hingis and Mirza, the reigning Wimbledon and US open champions, romped home to move within touching distance of yet another major trophy.

"We get along on the court, we suit each other and we consolidate each other's games," Mirza, the contest's standout player, said after the match.
