Leander Paes and Zimbabwe's Cara Black won the mixed doubles title at the US Open, beating Briton Jamie Murray and American Liezel Huber 7-6 (6), 6-4.

Leander was in top form. The duo saved two set points in the first-set tiebreak before breaking once in the second to clinch their first Grand Slam title together.

Paes will be looking to win the men's doubles title when he and Czech Lukas Dlouhy, the seventh seeds, play American twins, Bob and Mike Bryan.
