Teenagers Tatiana Golovin and Richard Gasquet of France won the French Open mixed doubles title on Friday, beating fourth-seeded Wayne and Cara Black of Zimbabwe 6-3, 6-4.

Both beaten in the first round of the singles, the French youngsters received a wild card to play in the mixed doubles.

"It's a great time for both of us. It gave us a chance to play an important match on centre court in front of

a big crowd. It can only be good for the future," said the 17-year-old Gasquet.

The 16-year-old Golovin said she had enjoyed playing the tournament with Gasquet.

"I had said in the press I would love to play with Richard. Our agents took care of it and here we are," the 16-year old said.

"We get on very well and we'll see if we can play together again at Wimbledon."
