Serena Williams won the women’s singles championship at Wimbledon and her sister, Venus Williams, was her runner up but the ladies were not content to let their winning streak end there. Yesterday, the two paired up to take the top prize in the women’s doubles final.

The American tennis stars beat Rennae Stubbs and Samantha Stosur of Australia 7-6 (4), 6-4 to clinch their fourth Wimbledon title together. “There’s nothing like winning a title with your sister,” said Serena. “It’s really a good feeling. I’m really excited to have doubles titles. I rack ‘em up.”
“One out of two’s not bad,” Venus said. “I really wanted to win the singles, but they’re two separate events. If I won the singles and not the doubles, it’s still not the same. I wanted my name on the trophy so one out of two’s not bad.”
I know that some people might complain about the domination of the Williams sisters but I think it brings excitement to the sport. Congratulations on all your success at Wimbledon this weekend, Venus and Serena!
