It was an unexpected accomplishment for former world number 1 doubles players Lisa Raymond and Samantha Stosur to get to the final of Wimbledon, given Stosur's very long illness layoff. They took out the top seeds, Cara Black and Liezel Huber, but there were not able to do much damage to Venus and Serena Williams. When there are four people on the court and three of them are superior servers, it stands to the reason that the team with two of those servers is going to win, and that is exactly what happened. The Williams sisters took the championship, 6-2, 6-2.
Venus and Serena played a total of only 6 hours and 25 minutes in doubles, never dropping a set throughout the tournament. This was their third Wimbledon doubles title.
After the trophy ceremony, there was a repeat of the junior girls championship trophy presentation, so that more Brits could go into a frenzy over Laura Robson. I can't blame them; she looks like the real thing.
