Williams Sisters Take Doubles Title At Wimbledon

POSTED: 5:56 pm MDT July 4, 2009

(Sports Network) - The dominating Williams sisters, Serena and Venus, won the doubles final on Saturday at Wimbledon, just hours after the sisters faced each other in the single's final.

Serena and Venus needed just two sets to defeat the third-seeded Aussie pairing of Samantha Stosur and Rennae Stubbs 7-6 (7-4), 6-4.

It's the fourth time these two have won the double's final as they took home the championship in 2000, 2002 and last year. In the 2008 final, they topped Stosur and Lisa Raymond.

The result came just a few hours after Serena polished off her older sister, beating Venus and denying her a three-peat at the All England Club with a 7-6 (7-3), 6-2 triumph.

The Williams sisters have combined to win eight of the 10 Wimbledon singles titles this decade. The second-seeded Serena also had championships in 2002 and '03. She lost to Venus in straight sets last year in the final.

Serena and Venus are 9-0 in their career Grand Slam doubles finals, including a victory at this year's Aussie Open.

The sisters will split $377,000.
