For old pros like Martina Hingis and Leander Paes, who have 28 Grand Slam titles between them, Sunday's World Team Tennis final was a lot like their playing days.

Fight your way to the final, then crush the competition, leaving no question as to the outcome.

Hingis and Paes, the backbone of the Washington Kastles' lineup, led a 25-12 rout of the Springfield Lasers in the 2013 championship match Sunday night at Kastles Stadium at the Wharf.

The dominant win, which saw the Kastles win all five sets, not only won their second straight title, but also their third in four seasons, finishing the season with a 14-2 record.

Kastle member Bobby Reynolds set the tone early by squashing Andy Roddick 5-1 in a 29-minute first set, and the rest of the Kastles followed suit.

Hingis won her point 5-2, and with the championship all but won - the Kastles led 20-8 after four sets, she and Paes gutted out a 5-4 mixed doubles victory to prevent overtime.
