Leander Paes won his 15th Grand Slam title on Sunday when he clinched the Australian Open mixed doubles with Swiss champion Martina Hingis. The pair won in straight sets (6-4, 6-3) against Daniel Nestor and Kristina Mladenovic in the match that lasted a little over an hour at the Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.
This is Paes' seventh mixed doubles Grand Slam win, and the 41-year-old is the oldest man to have ever won a Grand Slam title.
