SanTina, as they are popularly known, together own three Grand Slams, 11 WTA titles and a 41-winning match streak. Since their split, Mirza recently completed 80 weeks at the top of the doubles rankings, while Hingis recently slipped from second to fourth position.
The pair split in August this year with Mirza pairing up with Barbora Strycova and Hingis with Coco Vandeweghe. However, the duo is going to join forces once again to defend their WTA Finals crown, where they are seeded second and will face sixth seeded Yung-jan Chan and Hao-ching Chan in the first round. They are placed in the bottom half of the draw, which includes Ekaterina Makarova/Elena Vesnina (seeded 4th) and Andrea Hlavackova/Lucie Hradecka (seeded 6th).
