Beijing: Sania Mirza won her second title in a row as she lifted the China Open trophy withCara Black, demolishing the challenge of Vera Dushevina and Arantxa Parra Santonja in straight sets on Saturday. The eighth seeded Indo-Zimbabwean pair thrashed the Russian-Spanish combo 6-2, 6-2 in the summit clash, which lasted one hour and six minutes. Sania and Cara had won Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo last week and the two players have now won nine matches on the trot.

It is fifth title of the season for the Indian ace and 19th overall. Sania had won the New Haven event with Chinese Zheng before teaming up with Cara.
