Azarenka wins U.S. Open mixed doubles title with Mirnyi

Talk about momentum shift. When I left my house this afternoon, Meghann Shaughnessy and Leander Paes were up 4-0 in the second set tiebreak (I later learned they were up 6-1), and I thought they looked good to win the super tiebreak, too. Only there was no super tiebreak: Victoria Azarenka and Max Mirnyi won the second set, 7-6, and are the 2007 champions.

Meanwhile, the women's doubles finalists are 6th-seeded Chan Yung-Jan and Chuang Chia-Jung and 7th-seeded Nathalie Dechy and Dinara Safina. Dechy is half of the defending champion team of Dechy/Zvonareva. Vera Zvonareva is just coming back from a long injury time-out, and presumably, did not want to overdo it by playing doubles.
