Black, Huber win US Open women's doubles title

NEW YORK (AP) -Cara Black of Zimbabwe and Liezel Huber of the United States beat Lisa Raymond of the United States and Samantha Stosur of Australia 6-3, 7-6 (6) Sunday to win the U.S. Open women's doubles championship for the first time.

It's the fourth Grand Slam tournament title as a team for the top-seeded Black and Huber. They also won Wimbledon in 2005 and 2007, and the Australian Open in 2007.

They didn't drop a set at Flushing Meadows.


Black also won this year's U.S. Open mixed doubles title, pairing with Leander Paes to beat Huber and Jamie Murray.

The 10th-seeded Raymond and Stosur, the 2005 U.S. Open champions, also were the runners-up at Wimbledon this year, losing to Venus and Serena Williams in that final.

The Williams sisters didn't enter the U.S. Open doubles event.
