Top seeds Cabal/Farah claim second Men's Doubles Grand Slam title of the season at US Open

They have made history again having become the first players from their nation to lift a Men's Grand Slam Doubles titles at Wimbledon in July.

Now they are the first South American pairing in the Open Era to win the US Open and Farah paid tribute to Roberto Cocheteux who passed away recently and helped their dream.

”This whole Colombian tennis power thing started with a dream of one guy who owned this huge business called Colsanitas... One special guy who started it all was Roberto Cocheteux who passed away 17 or 18 days ago,” said Farah during the trophy ceremony. “

"We couldn't go to his burial because we had to stay here and it was very tough for us. We said we would dedicate this tournament to him and there is no better way to dedicate something than to win it.”

The duo fired in 32 winners as they eased past Granollers and Zeballos to claim a 16th title as a team and make it 45-13 this year alone.

They follow the likes of Mike Bryan and Jack Sock who won both titles also last season and before that it was 2003 when that last happened.
