Indian star tennis player won his 10th grand slam title when he won the US Open doubles title with his partner Luaks Dlouhy. The two over powered another Indian Mahesh Bhupati and his partner Mark Knowles in the finals.

Fourth seeds Paes and Czech Dlouhy led a sensational 3-6, 6-3, 6-2 win in the championship match over third seeds Bhupathi and his Bahamian partner. The match was heading for a straight-set wash out for Bhupathi and Knowles but Paes enlivened the match with his inspiring play and changed the complexion of the game.

His sparkling play infused life into the match and Dlouhy complemented him well to emerge winners after a confidence shaking first set lapse. For Paes, it is his fifth men's doubles Grand Slam crown, 41st overall, and second with Dlouhy. It was also second title of the year for the seasoned Paes, who won French Open in June along with Dlouhy.

The defeat for Bhupathi means that he has not won a men's doubles Grand Slam crown in seven years. Interestingly, his last victory came at the US Open only when he triumphed with Max Mirnyi in 2002.
