Peng Shuai (right) and Hsieh Su-wei won their first Grand Slam title with a 7-6 (1), 6-1 victory on July 6 over Australian duo Ashleigh Barty and Casey Dellacqua in the women's doubles final at Wimbledon.

Peng gave the Chinese mainland its first doubles title at a major in seven years while Hsieh became the first player from Taiwan to win a Grand Slam title.

The pair, who are both 27, played a few tournaments together as amateurs but ended their partnership after turning professional. The duo reunited at the end of 2008 and won their first 11 matches, claiming titles in Bali and Sydney.
