Martina Hingis is already enshrined in the Tennis Hall of Fame, but the 33-year-old Swiss is zeroing in on more grand slam hardware at the US Open.

Hingis, winner of five grand slam singles titles, nine doubles crowns and one mixed doubles title, and partner Flavia Pennetta booked a berth in today’s doubles final against Russians Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina.

“I’m enjoying every second to be out there,” said Hingis after the unseeded duo posted a 6-2 6-4 victory over third seeds Cara Black and Sania Mirza in the semi-finals.

Fourth seeds Makarova and Vesnina advanced in straight sets 7-5 6-3 over Kimiko Date-Krumm and Barbora Zahlavova Strycova.

Hingis has twice retired from tennis, first from foot and ankle injuries in 2003, then after a two-year ban imposed on her after a positive doping test at Wimbledon for cocaine in 2006.

The Swiss player stayed involved in the game through World Team Tennis and exhibition events, and teamed up with Pennetta at Eastbourne where they beat Makarova and Vesnina in their first match together.

“We have to come out with our best,” said Hingis about a return engagement against the Russians in Flushing Meadows.

“I mean, if they beat us, too good. If it’s not going to be enough, even better.”

Mixed doubles final: Soares/ Mirza bt Gonzalez/Spears 6-1 2-6 11-9.
