Along with his partner Radek Stepanek of Czech Republic, Paes demolished the pair of Alexander Peya and Bruno Soares 6-1, 6-3 in the final of the 2013 US Open men’s doubles on Sunday to clinch the title.



40-year-old Paes now has 14 major titles to his name that include eight doubles and six mixed doubles trophies.

Following his amazing feat, Paes quipped that the secret to win doubles titles is to find a partner from Czech Republic paying tribute to his former partners from the country with whom he has tasted success at the US Open on previous occasions.

With this win, Paes has surely confirmed his status as one of India’s greatest ever sports persons.
