Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza and her Swiss partner Martina Hingis produced an imperious performance as they outclassed Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears in their women's doubles event to reach the Wimbledon final.

Mirza and Hingis claimed a comfortable 6-1, 6-2 straight set win over the fifth seed Americans in a semi-final contest that lasted mere 56 minutes.

The top seeded Indo-Swiss pair will now face Russian duo of Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina in the summit clash on Saturday.

With the win, Mirza inched closer to bag her first ever women's doubles Grand Slam title.
