While World No.1 Ashleigh Barty won the women’s singles title at the Wimbledon Championships 2021, another interesting match took place on the Centre Court after that. It was the finals of the women’s doubles category in which the pair of Hsieh Su-wei and Elise Mertens made an incredible comeback and defeated the Russian pair of Elena Vesnina and Veronika Kudermetova to clinch the title. The final scoreline of the match was 3-6, 7-5, 9-7.
This is the third Wimbledon doubles title for Hsieh Su-wei. Before this, she has won the title in 2013 with Peng Shuai and in 2019 with Barbora Strycova. Stunningly, this time, Elise Mertens got the opportunity to pair up with her and she won her third Grand Slam doubles title and maiden doubles title at Wimbledon.
