Soares, who won the men's doubles title with Britain's Jamie Murray that finished early on Sunday, clinched his second title in a little over 16 hours when he and Vesnina beat American Coco Vandeweghe and her Romanian partner Horia Tecau 6-4 4-6 10-5.
The Brazilian said after they clinched the trophy in the super tie-break that he had not slept well after he finished his official duties at 0400 local time (1700 GMT) and had sent Vesnina a text message at 0430 saying he was 'ready to go'.
"Been living on coffee ever since. So I had 22 coffees already today. But now it's all worth it," Soares told reporters.
"It feels amazing. It was long days, tough days. Last night I finished really late. It's tough. A lot of adrenaline going on. Tough to sleep.
"But I knew I had another important day. You don't get the chance to play many grand slam finals. I think you got to make the most of it.
"To get the chance to play one and win one, it's already extremely special. I mean, I got two in the same day, so... it's special."
