<p>Parrott and Gullickson, who had never previously played in a tournament together, won the crown amid swirling winds in Arthur Ashe Stadium. <br /><br />"I can't even believe it," said the 22-year-old Gullickson. "It's my first time on Arthur Ashe. It was a great experience. I'm super excited and happy right now." <br /><br />Gullickson and Parrott, who also defeated the number one and three seeds along the way, will receive $150,000 for the win. <br /><br />Paes,who already has won four grand slam mixed doubles titles, and Black will collect $70,000. <br /><br />"Our opponents were too good for us today." Paes said in a courtside interview. "They played excellently well." <br /><br />Black proved a weak link in the Indo-Zimbabwean combination as all she could do was play some feeble shots.
