Serena Williams paired up with her sister Venus Williams to win their fifth Wimbledon doubles title defeating Czech's Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka by 7-5, 6-4.
Serena (30) and Venus (32) took 78-minute to win the match. They were in total control of the match from the start and looked like invincible.
It was their fifth All England Club doubles title and 13th overall.
Venus said, "I felt I played a match with her earlier so I felt like it was my second match too. It was a great day for all of us."
Serena who won the Women's Singles title earlier in the day inspired Venus.
"I was definitely inspired by Serena's singles performance. Obviously it's wonderful to play on the court with her. I couldn't have done it without her, so it's great," Venus added.
It was a crucial win for both sisters as they have battled health issues and have not won any major for the last two years.
They were playing in their first doubles tournament together in two years.
