American Scott Lipsky wins mixed doubles at French Open with Casey Dellacqua,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Lipsky and Casey Dellacqua of Australia beat the defending champions and top-seeded Nenad Zimonjic of Serbia and Katarina Srebotnik of Slovenia 7-6 (6),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 4-6, 10-7 Thursday in the mixed doubles final at the French Open.
''You watch these matches on TV,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and you wish that someday you can be there,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],'' Lipsky said. ''To be on the stage playing in a Grand Slam final and to come out with a win and to say now for the rest of my life that I'm a Grand Slam champion,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it's amazing. It hasn't sunk in. Hopefully,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], eventually it will.''
He and Dellacqua, who were unseeded,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], trailed 6-4 in the super-tiebreaker but won six of the last seven points and won when Zimonjic's backhand passing shot sailed long.
After the trophy ceremony in Court Philippe Chatrier, Lipsky talked about ''grinding through'' playing tournaments on low-tier tours, ''not making much money and trying to eke out a living.''
Now he can split the winner's check of 100,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 Euros (about $145,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000).
In the men's doubles semifinals Thursday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], top-seeded American twins Mike and Bob Bryan lost to Juan Sebastian Cabal of Colombia and Eduardo Schwank of Argentina 7-6 (4),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 6-3.
The Bryans were bidding for a second title at Roland Garros and an 11th Grand Slam overall,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. That would've equaled the Open era record set by Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde.
''We got a little careless,'' Bob Bryan said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ''and they made us pay for it.''
In the final,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Cabal and Schwank will face second-seeded Daniel Nestor of Canada and Max Mirnyi of Belarus,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who edged Zimonjic and Michael Llodra of France 7-6 (4), 7-6 (5).
