The second seeded Indo-Czech pair took just 51 minutes to crush their rivals 6-1, 6-1. This is Sania and Strycova's second title in three tournaments since they have paired together.
Sania may have said that Tokyo 2020 Olympics is too far ahead but currently Sania is in red hot form heading into the final events of 2016.
