India's Leander Paes and Cara Black of Zimbabwe overwhelmed Ekaterina Makarova of Russia and Czech Jaroslav Levinsky 7-5, 6-3 to clinch the Australian Open mixed doubles title at the Melbourne Park here Sunday.

It was top seeded Paes and Black's second title together as they broke free of their back-to-back losses in the Wimbledon and the US Open last year. The pair had won the 2008 US Open in their first major as a team.
