Paes and Stepanek, seeded seventh, crushed
second seeds Max Mirnyi and Daniel Nestor 3-6 6-1 10-8 on Sunday. Just dropping the first set, the Australian Open champions broke
Mirnyi and Nestor twice in the second set to force a match tie-break. Indo-Czech duo trailed 1-4 before winning six straight
points to surge ahead. Paes now the 24th player in the ATP World Tour history to win 50 doubles titles said "Over all these years of playing, I have got to thank many partners, I
have got to thank many coaches.I have to thank my father but most
importantly my wonderful partner right now, Radek Stepanek," he added.
Finally Stepanek shot the victory with an incongruous volley to clinch the win.
