U.S.-Kazakhstan pair Vania King and Yaroslava Shvedova saved a match point to win the U.S. Open women's doubles title through a third-set tiebreaker on Monday.
King and Shvedova, seeded sixth, beat second-seeded Liezel Huber of the United States and Nadia Petrova of Russia 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (4).
The match had been postponed in the third set on Sunday due to drizzle as Huber and Petrova led 5-4 in the other pair's turn to serve.
When the match resumed with King serving in the tenth game of third set, Huber and Petrova quickly earned a match point. But King and Shvedova managed to rally back and prolonged the match into tiebreak.

King and Shvedova established an advantage of 6-4 soon with two championship points before King lobbed the ball past Huber and Petrova for the victory.
It's strange," Shvedova said. "I don't feel like we won, because today was such a short day."
King and Shvedova teamed to win Wimbledon earlier this summer in the first Grand Slam women's doubles for each.
"I was nervous because I was serving and I was down a point, so I was just hoping no double fault," said King.
"After Wimbledon we did not know if we could do it again, but now we proved that we can."
Huber has won the mixed doubles here teaming up with Bob Bryan. The American, 2008 U.S. Open winner with Cara Black, holds four Grand Slam women's doubles title overall.
Huber, who was born in South Africa and became an American citizen in 2007, was seeking to become the eighth player in the Open era to win the women's doubles and mixed doubles titles in the same year at the tournament.
