The Czech duo, Kateřina Siniaková, and Barbora Krejčíková lifted the Wimbledon Women’s Doubles for the 2nd time. They defeated Elise Mertens and Zhang Shuai by 6-2,6-4 in the final.
This was their 2nd Wimbledon title after claiming the 1st title in 2018. The final lasted for 67 minutes where the top-seeded Mertens and Shuai after a couple of better starts started losing the grip against the Czech duo. The winning pair broke early to take a 3-0 lead over the top seed and then never looked back. Siniaková and Krejčíková came into the tournament as the 2nd seeded, after sustaining the pressure and winning the tournament was celebratory for both tennis stars.
It is the 2nd Grand Slam victory for the duo, before this, they also won the Australian Open. In total, they have 5 Grand Slam victories as a pair, with Wimbledon (2018,2022), French Open (2018,2021), and Australian Open (2022).
On the other side, the top-seeded Mertens and Shuai were looking for their 1st Wimbledon title together.
Mertens already won the Wimbledon title in 2021 alongside Su-Wei Hsieh and has 3 Grand Slam titles. While Shuai has two titles but was searching for her 1st Wimbledon victory.
The domination of the Czech duo was so much that they only dropped 1 set en route to their fifth Grand Slam victory.
