Fourth seeds Leander Paes and Martin Damm captured their third career title together, winning the World indoor tournament in Rotterdam on Sunday.

The US Open champions beat Andrei Pavel of Romania and Alexander Waske of Germany in the final 6-3, 6-7(5), 10-7.

"It was nice to come out with a good win. We played well this week," said Paes, after winning his 37th doubles title.

"Marty kept on fighting this week. He came up with the goods in the match tie-breaks. In a matter of 15 months we've won one Grand Slam and both the titles in Holland."

Damm and Paes are have a 11-3 winning record this year. They were runners-up in Doha last month (to Youzhny-Zimonjic).

"Every title is important, especially as you get older, you take it preciously. We started together just last year. It's not always easy to glue together quickly," added Damm.

Earlier, the pair got the better of former partner Mahesh Bhupathi and Nenad Zimonjic in the semi-finals on Saturday.

Paes-Damm survived a match-point before claiming a 6-7(5), 7-6(5), 12-10 victory over the Indo-Serb pair.
