September 24, 2014 01:25 am | Updated 01:25 am IST - Singapore:

The Indo-Zimbabewean combination of Sania Mirza and Cara Black became the fourth pair to qualify for the BNP Paribas WTA finals in Singapore, next month.

It would be Sania’s maiden appearance at the event, the WTA announced in a press release.

Black would be making her 11th appearance in the competition having qualified for the previous 10 years with three different partners — Elena Likhovtseva, Rennae Stubbs and Liezel Huber. Sania and Cara would compete in the eight-team doubles competition, joining Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci, Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina, and defending champion Peng Shuai and Hsieh Su-Wei, who qualified earlier.

“Cara and I are excited to have qualified for the WTA finals and look forward to competing against the best teams in the world,” Sania said in the WTA statement.

“We’re having a great year and we hope to continue that success with a great run in Singapore,” she said.
