Serena and Venus Williams won their sixth Wimbledon doubles championship and 14th Grand Slam title as a pair on Saturday, defeating fifth-seeded Timea Babos of Hungary and Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan 6-3, 6-4.

Four hours earlier, Serena had defeated Germany's Angelique Kerber 7-5, 6-3 in the women's singles final, equalling German tennis legend Steffi Graf's 22 Grand Slam victories.

Serena heads home from the All England Club with two trophies: The doubles final started a little more than 3 hours after she beat Angelique Kerber for the singles championship Saturday.

The Williams sisters also won the doubles title at Wimbledon in 2000, 2002, 2008, 2009 and 2012, and each time, one of them also won the singles championship.

They're now 14-0 in major doubles finals. The sisters last lost a doubles final in 1999 in San Diego.

Serena and Venus hadn't played together for two years before this year but reunited as part of their build-up for the Olympic Games next month.
