India's Sania Mirza and Brazilian Bruno Soares won the U.S. Open mixed doubles title on Friday, defeating American Abigail Spears and Santiago Gonzalez of Mexico with 6-1, 2-6 and 11-9 score. Sania's win came just a month after she was described by a politician as "Pakistan`s daughter-in-law" and unfit to be a representative of India.

This is Sania's first US Open title. Earlier she won French Open [2012] and Australian Open [2009] with Mahesh Bhupathi. This year too Sania reached Australian Open final but settled on the losing side. Sania and Soares share USD 150,000 price money.
