American duo Huber/Raymond win US Open women's doubles

According to Xinhua, the American pair beat third-seeded duo of American King and Kazakhstan's Shvedova 4-6, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (3).

It's the six Grand Slam title of women's doubles for 38-year-old Raymond, who won also her third US Open doubles championship, the last coming in 2005, when she teamed with Sam Stosur, who overpowered Serena Williams 6-2, 6-3 to win the US Open women's singles in a later match.

Raymond and Huber saved match point trailing 5-4 in the second set, then got to the third-set tiebreaker.

After winning the point to go ahead 6-2, Huber started celebrating, thinking they had won.

Two points later, they actually did, and Huber, who teamed with Nadia Petrova last year, avenged a loss to the King and Shedova team, who won last year's Wimbledon, in the 2010 final.

The winning pair will carve up a prize of 420,000 dollars.

Huber and Raymond overcame Slovakia's Daniel Hantuchova and Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska, 6-2, 6-4 to reach the final on Friday.

King and Shvedova upended the fifth-seeded Russian tandem of Maria Kirilenko and Nadia Petrova, 7-6 (9-7), 2-6, 6-3 in another semifinal.
