American team crowned first US Open champions
The first trophy of the 2010 US Open tournament was awarded Thursday afternoon, with the top-seeded American team of Liezel Huber and Bob Bryan crowned as the mixed doubles champions over Kveta Peschke and Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi 6-4, 6-4.
"We tell each other to be aggressive," Bryan said. "I think that's when we play our best tennis. We sometimes have a tendency to guide the ball a little bit. So, you know, I tell her, be aggressive, she tells me (the same thing)."
Added Huber, "Our first match was really a good learning lesson for us to play. We haven't played in like a year and a half, and it's only the second time ever we played. We played against Melanie Oudin and Ryan Harrison, and we were just guiding and pushing the ball. When we started being aggressive, it was much easier."
"Those guys (Qureshi and his doubles partner Rohan Bopanna) are great guys," Bryan said. "Everyone in the locker room likes them. Just hearing about the problem in Pakistan, I talked about it with my brother and my dad, and we just wanted to do it. Qureshi didn't know about it, but as soon as this tournament is over we'll write a check and do it."
