Wimbledon, England: Serena Williams won second Wimbledon title of the day with her sister Venus Williams nine hours after she beat Agnieszka Radwanska to win her fifth Wimbledon title.
William sisters defeated Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka, 7-5, 6-4 in an indoor match. The victory came in Venus and Serena’s first tournament together in two years, Yahoo! Sports reported.
It was the sister’s 14th Grand Slam doubles title, the third most in history.
“[The day was] very long,” Serena said after the match. “I was just happy to do it with singles and continue it with doubles.”
After Serena set the Wimbledon record for most tournament aces, it was fitting that her sister ended their doubles match on an ace.
“I felt like it was my second match too,” Venus joked afterward, referring to the tense moments she spent watching Serena defeat Agnieszka Radwanka in the single final played earlier in the day.
