As expected Serena and Venus Williams are crowned the doubles champions at the Wimbledon 2009.
The sisters were the defending champions and are now four times champions at Wimbledon.
Interestingly the men's doubles which was played just after the women's singles was also defended by Daniel Nestor, Canada, and Nenad Zimonjic, Serbia, the number 2 seeds who defeated another pair of siblings (The Bryan bros - top seeds).
Serena started off colour and if Venus was disappointed over her singles loss it did not show in her game as she covered for the unforced errors of Serena for most part of the match. The 38 year old Renee Stubbs proved to be the weak serve for their Australian opponents and although she volleyed beautifully she was always under pressure while serving. She was broken once in both sets and that along with the fact that Serena was back to normal half way into the second set paved the way to their victory.
So the Williams love affair with Wimbledon continues.
