Lukas Dlouhy and Leander Paes claimed the French Open men's doubles title on Saturday.

The third seeds proved too good for the South African-Belgian pairing of Wesley Moodie and Dick Norman, winning 3-6 6-3 6-2.

Moodie, a former Wimbledon doubles champion, and Norman started the better and took the first set in 37 minutes thanks to the only break of serve.

However, Dlouhy and Paes, of the Czech Republic and India respectively, hit back in the following set to force a decider.

And they pushed on to claim the title but securing two breaks of serve - quite an achievement against their 6ft-plus opponents - in the final set.

Paes' name goes on the trophy for a third time - he won here in 1999 and 2001 with Mahesh Bhupathi - while the victory was Dlouhy's first at Grand Slam level.
