Britain’s Jordanne Whiley and her partner Yui Kamiji have won their third consecutive Wimbledon women’s wheelchair doubles title.
The top seeds beat second seeds Jiske Griffioen and Aniek van Koot 6-2 6-2 in one hour and nine minutes on court 17.
The defending champions were 2-0 down in the second set, but fought back to win six straight games and secure a comfortable victory.
Whiley had lost to Koot in the women’s singles semi-final earlier this week.
The 24-year-old became the second Briton to win a title at SW19 on Sunday, following Gordon Reid’s victory in the men’s wheelchair singles.

Great Britain’s Gordon Reid won his second Wimbledon title in as many days by adding the men’s wheelchair singles to the doubles title he won alongside Alfie Hewett on Saturday.
The 24-year-old Scot beat Sweden’s Paralympic champion Stefan Olsson 6-1 6-4 on a packed-out court 17.
Reid, who was runner-up in the French Open, adds Wimbledon to the Australian Open title he won in January.
“It’s incredible,” said Reid. “I’ll never forget this moment.”
Wheelchair tennis has been played at Wimbledon since 2001 but this year is the first time men’s and women’s singles have featured.
“To have the opportunity to play singles here is something I’ve dreamed of for a long time,” added Reid.
“And to come here and win it in front of all the people I love: my friends, my family, my coaches, with so much support. It’s great.”
Reid, who was ranked third in the world at the beginning of the week, hopes his continued success will inspire the next generation of wheelchair tennis players.
“I said at the start of the week I wanted to achieve two things,” he told BBC Sport. “First if there were any kids with disabilities for this to inspire them to take up the sport.
“And second was to continue to break down the barriers when it comes to disability sport, to showcase the talent in the sport. The coverage and interest we’ve had this week, it’s been a big milestone and hopefully we can build on that.”

The top seed looks for his sixth career ATP Challenger Tour title
It’s not often that a player returns to Challengers mere months of winning an ATP World Tour event, but it’s all part of the plan for Victor Estrella Burgos.
Less than five months after defending his title the ATP World Tour event in Quito, the Dominican superstar is the top seed at this week’s ATP Challenger Tour event in Cali, Colombia. He’s been in top form all week, not dropping a set and losing an average of five games per match en route to the final.
Despite being ranked well inside the Top 100 of the Emirates ATP Rankings at No. 77, the 35 year old said the ranking points on offer at Challengers are still extremely valuable to him.
“If you look at my ranking now, it’s important that I came to Cali with a positive attitude and the will to win the tournament,” said Estrella Burgos. Winning 90 points is like reaching the semi-finals of an [ATP World Tour] 250 event or quarter-finals of an [ATP World Tour] 500 event, which is really good. It’s important for players like me to play some Challengers and know how to combine them with the bigger tournaments.
Estrella Burgos’ story of breaking ground for tennis in the Dominican Republic by becoming the first player from his country to succeed on the ATP World Tour is well-documented. But perhaps what’s just as inspiring is that despite turning 36 next month, he’s still playing his best tennis at an age when most of his peers have long since retired.
“I see tennis more simply now. Maturity has helped a lot because I started on tour long ago and now I feel very different on and off the court,” said Estrella Burgos. “I had been trying for a long time, but suddenly moved up the rankings very fast and now I intend on staying here.”
The veteran has excelled in Colombia throughout his career, with three of his five career ATP Challenger Tour singles titles coming in the country. And after his run of inspired form this week in Cali, he assured that this visit wont ‘t his last.
“One of the things I regret from last year was not coming to Colombia. I like playing here because I feel positive and have a great time. It’s fascinating to visit,” said Estrella Burgos. “The tournament in Cali is phenomenal and the location is really beautiful. Coming here makes me feel at home.”
Top seeds prevail in all-French final
Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut are Wimbledon champions.
The top seeds overcame countrymen Julien Benneteau and Edouard Roger-Vasselin 6-4, 7-6(1), 6-3 in just over two hours to secure their second Grand Slam title (2015 US Open) and first at the All England Club. Saturday’s match snapped a streak of 11 Grand Slam championships won by different doubles teams and cemented Herbert and Mahut’s position as the best doubles team in 2016. They have won five titles this year, including the first three ATP World Tour Masters 1000 events of the season.
| Event | Winning Team |
| 2014 Roland Garros | Benneteau/Roger-Vasselin |
| 2014 Wimbledon | Pospisil/Sock |
| 2014 US Open | Bryan/Bryan |
| 2015 Australian Open | Bolelli/Fognini |
| 2015 Roland Garros | Dodig/Melo |
| 2015 Wimbledon | Rojer/Tecau |
| 2015 US Open | Herbert/Mahut |
| 2016 Australian Open | Murray/Soares |
| 2016 Roland Garros | Lopez/Lopez |
| 2016 Wimbledon | Herbert/Mahut |
It was the first all-French doubles final at Wimbledon in the Open Era. The most recent all-French team to win the men’s doubles title at SW19 was Arnaud Clement and Michael Llodra in 2007.
Herbert and Mahut’s efficient serving paved their way to victory. They won 65 per cent of second-serve points to their opponents’ 47 per cent and saved all four break points faced. Herbert, at 25 the youngest player on the court, returned from the ad court and was instrumental in securing three breaks of serve for his side (3/12).
Mahut was overcome with emotion and fell to the court after his team converted their third match point. The 34 year old captured the Boy’s Singles title at Wimbledon 16 years ago and was facing two friends and former doubles partners. Benneteau and Mahut, born a month apart, enjoyed a successful partnership in the junior ranks, winning the 1999 US Open juniors doubles together and being named the year’s ITF Junior Boys’ Doubles World Champions. At tour-level, Benneteau and Mahut won two ATP World Tour titles and reached two US Open semi-finals (2004 and 2007) while Mahut and Roger-Vasselin captured four ATP World Tour titles as a team between 2012 and 2013.
The fortnight marked a return to form for Benneteau and Roger-Vasselin. They renewed their partnership earlier this year after Benneteau recovered from an adductor injury which kept him out of action for nearly a year. In their only previous Grand Slam final, the duo beat Marcel Granollers and Marc Lopez to secure the 2014 Roland Garros title.
Herbert and Mahut earned 2,000 Emirates ATP Doubles Rankings points and £350,000, while Benneteau and Roger-Vasselin will split 1,200 points and £175,000
