Belarussian pair Max Mirnyi and Victoria Azarenka claimed the US Open mixed doubles title with victory over Leander Paes and Meghann Shaughnessy.
Mirnyi, 30, and 18-year-old Azarenka won 6-4 7-6 (8-6).
"It's been an amazing two weeks for me," said Azarenka, who beat Martina Hingis on her way to the fourth round of the singles.
"I have always loved the US Open and wanted to do well here so thanks to everyone, especially Max."
India's Paes and his American partner Shaughnessy had ended the hopes of Britain's Jamie Murray and his partner Liezel Huber in the semi-finals.
