Kazakhstan's Danilina and Heliovaara of Finland randomly teamed up ahead when they happened to be at the sign-in table at the same time.
It was an amazing run," Danilina said during her on-court interview.
Heliovaara and Danilina remained in control as they opened the second set with another break before the Americans got the set back on serve in the fourth game.
But Heliovaara and Danilina refused to let the Americans back into the match and went on to break at love for a 5-4 lead before closing out victory.
Heliovaara initially forgot to mention Danilina when he addressed the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd during the trophy presentation but quickly requested the microphone back.
