Wimbledon: Kudermetova And Mertens Capture Women’s Doubles Title
After dropping the first set, Kudermetova and Mertens showed resilience, breaking Hsieh’s serve twice in the second set to level the match. Kudermetova's net play and Mertens’ steady baseline consistency began to shift momentum in their favor. However, the third set saw another twist as Hsieh and Ostapenko raced to a 4-2 lead. Undeterred, the eighth seeds surged back, winning the final four games. Kudermetova sealed the victory with a volley winner on championship point, finally earning her first Grand Slam doubles title as per WTA.
This win holds special significance for Kudermetova, who fell heartbreakingly short in the 2021 Wimbledon final. Her partner Mertens, meanwhile, secured her fifth major doubles title and her second at Wimbledon. Ironically, Mertens’ previous Wimbledon crown came in 2021 when she partnered with Hsieh to deny Kudermetova and Elena Vesnina in another dramatic finish.
