New York, September 4, 2014: Indian tennis star Sania Mirza has moved one step closer to clinch a third doubles grand slam title as she entered the mixed doubles final at the US Open.

Sania is also in the women’s doubles semifinal along with her Zimbabwean partner Cara Black.

Top seeds Sania and Brazilian Bruno Soares had a roller coaster ride to the finals. They took the first set 7-5, while their unseeded Chinese Taipei-British pair of Yung Jan Chan and Ross Hutchins fought back to take the second set 6-4 to force the match result into a tiebreaker.

Sania and Soares, the 2012 mixed doubles US Open champion, however, won the match tiebreaker 10-7 to enter their first Grand Slam final as partners.
