PARIS (Reuters) - Doubles veterans Leander Paes and Martina Hingis completed a full set of grand slam doubles titles on Friday, adding the missing piece to their collections in an emotional mixed final at the French Open.

For Paes, who turns 43 in two weeks, the 4-6 6-4 10-8 (champions tiebreak) win over India's Sania Mirza and Croat Ivan Dodig turned the clock full circle.
