The top seeds collected their third Grand Slam doubles title of 2004 and their seventh in total, clinching victory after 81 minutes when Suarez put away a forehand volley.

"When we started this tournament we said, okay, we have to win six matches to be in the final again," Suarez said.

"I didn't believe we could be in the final again but we did it. It's amazing."

Had Kuzenetsova and Likhovtseva, the second seeds, won the title they would have secured a sweep for Russian women at the U.S. Open.

Kuznetsova secured her first Grand Slam singles title when she defeated compatriot Elena Dementieva in Saturday's final, while Vera Zvonereva teamed with American Bob Bryan to beat Australians Todd Woodbridge and Alicia Molik for the mixed doubles crown.
