The UAE Royals&#8217; only female player present in Japan faced Kirsten Flipkens, who, once again, broke her opponent when returning to stay in the set. This time, though, the Swiss avoided the Shoot-Out and broke back to win an outstanding set.<\/p>\n<p>Hingis didn&#8217;t have a rest and faced her beloved friend and former doubles partner, <strong><a href=\"search?q=Sania+mirza&amp;Search=\">Sania Mirza<\/a>,<\/strong> in the Mixed Doubles Set. Mirza teamed up with Bopanna, whereas Hingis took to the court with Pablo Cuevas.

In the last set, the Men&#8217;s Doubles, Bopanna and L&oacute;pez forced overtime after taking the Shoot-Out but couldn&#8217;t complete a comeback as Daniel Nestor, partnering Cuevas, served out the draw.<\/p>\n<p>It was the icing on the cake that concluded a perfect match for the Royals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignleft size-full wp-image-15511\" src=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/martina-hingis.jpg\" width=\"260\" height=\"177\" alt=\"martina hingis\" style=\"margin-right: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; float: left;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/martina-hingis.jpg 260w, https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/martina-hingis-150x102.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/>Japan: In a superb performance, Martina Hingis led her team to the top of the table of the Coca-Cola <a href=\"search?q=IPTL\"><strong>International Premier Tennis League<\/strong> <\/a>2016, that bids farewell to Japan on Sunday before moving on to Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>From the very beginning, the Dubai-based team showed confidence and resilience and John-Laffnie de Jager, the captain and coach, could have not been prouder.<\/p>\n<p>Winning four sets, the Royals wrapped up the first leg on a high note: 30-20 against the Indian Aces and a privileged position at the top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":15511,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[466,19157,11567,203,266,12894],"class_list":["post-30330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis-tennis","tag-indian-sports-news","tag-international-premier-tennis-league-2016","tag-martina-hingis","tag-rohan-bopanna","tag-sania-mirza","tag-tennis-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>IPTL: Martina Hingis helps UAE Royals beat Indian Aces 30-20, Royals jump to top of the League - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/?p=30330\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"IPTL: Martina Hingis helps UAE Royals beat Indian Aces 30-20, Royals jump to top of the League - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Japan: In a superb performance, Martina Hingis led her team to the top of the table of the Coca-Cola International Premier Tennis League 2016, that bids farewell to Japan on Sunday before moving on to Singapore.
