An elated Bhupathi quipped: 'I was joking with my coach that now I should probably buy a flat here since it is my fifth title in Canada.'

Knowles added his bit, saying: 'This is a very special tournament for me because this is where I won my first ATP title with Jim Courier in 1993 -- just a couple of years ago!'

The Indo-Bahamian pair served so well that they didn't face a single break point in the 62-minute match. Mirnyi and Ram could just take nine points on their opponents' serve and that explains the stranglehold the winners had.

Mirnyi and Ram should still be happy to have come through a tough week, beating the world's top pair Bob and Mike Bryan in the semi-final. Playing in their first last four round in more than four months they gathered crucial ranking points in the race to end the year in the top-eight and qualify for the season ending World Tour Finals in London.
