Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Jamie Murray won the US Open mixed doubles title on Saturday with a 2-6, 6-3, 11-9 victory over Alicija Rosolska and Nikola Mektic.

For British player Murray, it was a second successive mixed title in New York having teamed up with Martina Hingis in 2017. And for that, he became the first man to defend US Open mixed doubles titles since Bob Bryan in 2003 and 2004.

For 33-year-old American Mattek-Sands, who has five women's doubles titles at the Slams, it was an emotional victory, coming just over a year since she suffered an horrific knee injury at Wimbledon.

The runner-ups Rosolska (POL) and Mektic (CRO) beat Zhang Shuai (CHN) and John Peers (AUS) in the semi-final to meet the newly combined British-American pair.
