(Reuters) - Laura Siegemund said she was filled with mixed emotions after capturing the U.S. Open women's doubles crown with Russia's Vera Zvonareva on Friday, the day of her aunt's funeral. Siegemund's aunt, Helga, the twin sister of her mother, died from cancer nearly three weeks ago when the German was in New York ahead of the U.S. Open. "There were a lot of things going on in my head. Siegemund said she missed receiving a congratulatory text from Helga after securing her first Grand Slam doubles title. I just feel like I know she's watching and I wanted to say something," she said.
