Play resumed at 3 p.m. on Monday after the match was suspended on Sunday during the final set following a three-hour rain delay. King and Shvedova were down 5-4 on serve in the third set with King serving at 0-15.
"I was a bit nervous because I was serving and a point down on my serve. I was concentrating on getting the first serve in," said King.
"I want to congratulate two great opponents today," said Huber, the top-ranked women's doubles player in the world.
