Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Jamie Murray won the US Open mixed doubles title on Saturday with a 2-6, 6-3, 11-9 victory over Alicija Rosolska and Nikola Mektic.

For British player Murray, it was a second successive mixed title in New York having teamed up with Martina Hingis in 2017.

For 33-year-old American Mattek-Sands, who has five women’s doubles titles at the Slams, it was an emotional victory, coming just over a year since she suffered an horrific knee injury at Wimbledon.

Mike Bryan and Jack Sock on Friday became the first men to win the US Open and Wimbledon men’s titles in the same season in 15 years when they defeated Lukasz Kubot and Marcelo Melo in the final at Flushing Meadows.
