Wimbledon 2012: Williams sisters are doubles champs

Serena was the last woman to win both the singles and doubles titles at Wimbledon, in 2009.

Playing under the closed roof, Venus Williams served out the match less than 15 minutes before the 11 p.m. deadline for the end of play on Centre Court.

Had the match gone to a third set, they probably would have had to come back and finish it off on Sunday.

“I told Venus on the court, it doesn’t matter,” Serena said. “We weren’t really racing the clock, we were just playing our opponents who were playing really tough and really good.”
