Paes now has eight mixed doubles titles to go with eight men's doubles trophies he has won at the majors.

"It's pretty exciting to come out and play like this in the final of a grand slam," Hingis told the BBC after the pair won in just 40 minutes.

"I had a good night sleep after yesterday's win and I was ready to go all the way.

"Now I just really enjoy it. It's much different to when I was 17. Singles is much more stressful. We just go out and enjoy it and bring the title home."
