Leander Paes and Cara Black beat Ekaterina Makarova and Jaroslav Levinsky in straight sets 7-5, 6-3 at the Australian Open mixed. Paes and Black, who lifted the US Open trophy in 2008 in their maiden venture, have been the hottest mixed team in the last six months, making the finals of three successive majors. The worrying aspect, though, is the fact that the Indo-Zimbabwean pair tripped at the final hurdle in back-to-back Slams (2009 Wimbledon and US Open). The top seeded Indo-Zimbawean pair came from behind to edge past seventh seeds Lisa Raymond and Wesley Moodie 6-7, 7-6 (5), 10-7 in the semi-finals at Melbourne Park. Paes has so far won 10 Grand Slam titles, including six men's doubles trophies.Paes-Black win Australian Open mixed doubles title
