Paes, who won the men's doubles crown with Mahesh Bhupathi beating the Dutch-American pair of Paul Haarhuis and Jared Palmer in a four-set battle 6-7 (10-12) 6-3 6-4 7-6 (7-4), showed immense stamina in playing three matches in a day to emerge a worthy winner.

The top-seeded pair of Paes and Raymond downed third seeds Jonas Bjorkman of Sweden and Russian pin-up girl Anna Kournikova 6-4 3-6 6-3 in the mixed doubles final to complete an Indian-American sweep at the famed lawns in the southwest London.

Playing his third match of the day, Paes had stormed into the mixed doubles final with a 6-2 6-4 victory over Mark Knowles of the Bahamas and Elena Likhovtseva of Russia. The Indian dipped into all his energy reserves to pull off one of the best show by any Indian at the championships.

By winning the mixeddoubles title, Paes also matched Bhupathi, who had become the first Indian to win a Grand Slam when he triumphed in French Open mixed event partnering Japan's Rika Hiraki in 1997.

Earlier, Paes and Bhupathi had scripted a red-letter day for Indian tennis by winning back-to-back grand slam titles following their French Open triumph last month.

The world No 1 duo, with their Wimbledon victory cemented their position on the ATP computer and could finish as top team at the end of this year -- another historic feat awaiting the Indians.

The duo were in their third straight Grand Slam finals and only Aussies Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde have a better record, reaching five consecutive doubles finals.

Paes/Bhupathi had lost to Bjorkman and Aussie Pat Rafter in an epic five-set final in the Australian Open in january.With two Grand Slam titles behind them, the two would venture out on ATP Tour separately -- Paes playing with Bjorkman in the US and Bhupathi partnering Russia'S Yevgeny Kafelnikov to playin an European event.The crack Indian duo however, would be together again for the year's last Grand Slam tournament -- the US Open -- and will look to better their record at the Flushing Meadows where they reached the semi-finals in 1997 and 1998.
