It was also their 14th doubles triumph as a team at the majors and their 22nd in 23 finals overall.

The sisters last lost a doubles final in 1999 in San Diego.

"It's awesome to win another doubles at Wimbledon," said Serena.

Venus added: "I never want to make a mistake. I don't want to let Serena down. She brought the energy from the singles on to the doubles court."
