Sania Mirza and Martina Hingis won their third successive doubles title together, securing the Family Circle Cup tennis title in Charlestone on Sunday, enabling the Indian to create history by becoming the first woman from her country to become the World No.1 in doubles ranking.
The No.1-seeded Swiss-Indian duo beat Casey Dellacqua and Darija Jurak 6-0, 6-4.
Sania is the first Indian woman to reach No.1 in tennis, in either singles or doubles, and just the fourth Asian woman to do it, after Japan's Ai Sugiyama, China's Peng Shuai and Chinese Taipei's Hsieh Su-Wei.
"An excellent accomplishment @MirzaSania! Congrats on being World Number 1 in doubles," Modi wrote on social networking site Twitter.
