Elise Mertens and Aryna Sabalenka are the latest winners at the US Open in the Women's Doubles after seeing off the duo of No.8 seeds Victoria Azarenka and Ashleigh Barty 7-5, 7-5.
The pairing have had a brilliant year with them going on a 10-0 streak back in March claiming Indian Wells and Miami, back to back.
But after reaching the Roland Garros semi-finals and Wimbledon Quarter-Finals, the doubts would have been there that they could claim one of the main titles on the calendar.
They delivered though seeing off the experienced duo in one hour and 36 minutes of tennis in a tense tie with Azarenka and Barty. They had more winners and fewer unforced errors than the winning duo.
Mertens and Sabalenka though were better on break points and it was the real difference between the pair. They had brilliant few weeks at Flushing Meadows.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
