[color=#1A2732][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]Leander Paes and Radek Stepanek followed their upset of the Bryan brothers with a victory Sunday in the men's doubles final at the U.S. Open.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#1A2732][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]The 40-year-old Paes and 35-year-old Stepanek denied Mike and Bob Bryan a calendar-year Grand Slam with a three-set win in the semifinals Thursday, then rolled to a 6-1, 6-3 triumph on Sunday over the duo of Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#1A2732][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]Paes earned his eighth career Grand Slam men's doubles title and second with Stepanek, who claimed his second. The two paired to win the 2012 Australian Open, beating the Bryans.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#1A2732][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]Peya and Soares were appearing in their first-ever Grand Slam men's doubles final.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#1A2732][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]Paes and Stepanek dominated from the start, winning the first five games of the match. A break of serve to start the second set gave the duo a quick advantage and they never relinquished serve the rest of the way.[/size][/font][/color]
[color=#1A2732][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][size=4]Peya appeared to be hampered by a back injury midway through the second set. He was serving at 1-3 and took an injury timeout, then struggled to continue as his serves continually lacked velocity.[/size][/font][/color]
