Australians Casey Dellacqua and Ashleigh Barty have been thrashed in the French Open doubles final by top seeds Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Lucie Safarova.
The Fed Cup teammates have now lost the final at all four majors, having been runners-up at the Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open in 2013 - and are yet to win a grand slam women's doubles title.
Watching Bethanie Mattek-Sands and Lucie Safarova jump up and down in glee on the Parisian clay on Sunday was not a new sight.
Their win in Paris was their second at Roland Garros after they claimed the title in 2015, and their fifth Grand Slam title overall.
Women's doubles winners: Lucie Safarova of The Czech Republic (L) and partner Bethanie Mattek-Sands of The United States (R). Mattek-Sands is the No. 1-ranked doubles player with Safarova holding the No. 2 spot.

Trump also said that Comey's testimony "vindicated" the president and that everything in it was "basically ridiculous". The president also said the investigation is an "excuse" by the Democrats before they lost the election.
Australian tennis stars Casey Dellacqua and Ashleigh Barty have completed a rare grand slam set - just not the one they crave.
"We played really well today. We enjoy our practice days and off-days", she said. "I think the moment is enough, actually".
"It's amusing, because we don't even kind of think about it that way", Mattek-Sands said. We're looking forward to Wimbledon. Find us on Facebook too!
The Australian pairing, who were bidding for their first grand slam title together, struggled for the majority of the hour-long contest after their serve was broken three times in each set.
