Black, Huber win U.S. Open doubles title

Sun 7th, September 2008

Flushing Meadows, NY (Sports Network) - The top-seeded tandem of Cara Black and Liezel Huber won their fourth career major championship with a straight- set victory Sunday at the 2008 U.S. Open.

Zimbabwe's Black and the American Huber defeated the 10th-seeded team of American Lisa Raymond and Aussie Samantha Stosur in 6-3, 7-6 (8-6) fashion, and did not drop a set in the entire tournament. Black and Huber had previously won championships in 2007 at Wimbledon and the Australian Open and in 2005 at the All England Club.

Black and Huber breezed through the first set in just over half an hour, but encountered trouble in the second -- it was the first time the duo had been taken to a tiebreak in this tournament. However, they staved off the challenge to notch the victory.

Raymond and Stosur, who won the U.S. Open in 2005 and took the French Open in 2006, were also runners-up this year at Wimbledon.
