SECOND TIME LUCKY:Leander Paes and Cara Black, who had lost the 2009 final, went one better this time.

LONDON: India's Leander Paes notched up his 12th Grand Slam title after he and his Zimbabwean partner Cara Black clinched the Wimbledon mixed doubles championship with a straight sets victory here on Sunday.

Last year's runners-up and second seeds Paes and Black beat 11th seeded South African-American pair of Wesley Moodie and Lisa Raymond 6-4, 7-6(5) in the final.

With this win, Paes now has 12 Grand Slam titles — six men's doubles and six mixed doubles Grand Slam crowns — one more than his estranged men's doubles partner and fellow Indian Mahesh Bhupathi.

Paes has lifted the trophy twice previously — with Martina Navratilova in 2003 and Lisa Raymond in 1999 — while Black won it with brother Wayne in 2004. — PTI
