India's Leander Paes claimed his 10th Grand Slam title when he and Czech Republic's Martin Damm made a remarkable comeback to beat Mahesh Bhupathi and Mark Knowles of Bahamas at the US Open men's doubles final here. Fourth seeds Paes and Dlouhy claimed their second Grand Slam crown after capturing the French Open title earlier this year. They lost to the US duo of Mike and Bob Bryan in last year's US Open final. "This is possibly the best year I've ever had on the tour," Paes said. This was Paes' tenth Grand Slam title (six doubles, four mixed doubles). He also claimed bragging rights in the rivalry against former partner Bhupathi, edging ahead 10-9 in matches when they have been on opposite sides of the net. They split in 2000 but reunite for their homeland in Olympics and Davis Cups. "Today's match was a really high quality. A high-class match," Paes said. "Well done."
