Congratulations to Melbourne Cricket Club member, John Peers, and his Mixed Doubles partner, Storm Sanders, on winning the US Open Mixed Doubles title yesterday.
The pair defeated Belgian Kirsten Flipkens and Frenchman Edouard Roger-Vasselin in the Final, 4-6, 6-4 (10/7).Fighting back from a set down, the duo levelled the scores with one set each to force the match into a tie break, which they mostly controlled thanks to a 3-0 early lead.
They became the first Australian pair to win the title in 21 years, and the first Australians to win a Mixed Double Grand Slam title since the 2013 Australian Open.
On behalf of the MCC Committee and fellow members, we congratulate John and Storm on their victory.
