12th Grand Slam title for Paes
(Wimbledon Championships, London)
TUESDAY 6, July 2010.
Leander Paes described his 12th Grand Slam title triumph at the Wimbledon mixed doubles as a "wonderful" feeling which holds a "special" place in his heart.
"It is wonderful to be in my 23rd Grand Slam final. It is a lot of fun. Days like these reminds me what hard work is all about. It is really special," Paes said.
Paes notched up his 12th Grand Slam title when he and his Zimbabwean partner Cara Black clinched the Wimbledon mixed doubles crown after defeating South African-American pair of Wesley Moodie and Lisa Raymond 6-4, 7-6 (5).
With this win, Paes now have six men's doubles and six mixed doubles Grand Slam crowns – one ahead of his one-time doubles partner and fellow Indian Mahesh Bhupathi.
