Fourth seeded US tennis players, Serena Williams and Venus Williams, took over top seeds Cara Black of Zimbabwe and Liezel Huber of the United States in straight sets of 6-2, 6-2 to clinch the women’s doubles title at US Open on Monday.
The defending champions did not even get a chance for a single break point in the 89-minute match. This win will be the 10th Grand Slam doubles crown for the Williams sister with the prize money of 420,000 dollars.
"It was really exciting," Serena Williams said. This is the third Grand Slam for Williams sister this year, after the clinched the crowns at Wimbledon and Australian Open. The Williams sisters had clinched the US Open title back in 1999.
"I have a great partner," Venus Williams said. "I believe in her just as much as I believe in myself."
Black and Huber top the season rankings but they have not been able to defeat the Serena-Venus duo this year.
"They are bigger and stronger than us and they serve much better than us," Black said. "Although we're ranked number one, they are definitely our stiffest competition."
