| Adjust font size: |
Zheng Jie and Yan Zi of China won the women's doubles at the Wimbledon Championship, China's first Wimbledon title, in London on Sunday. The fourth-seeded pair beat Virginia Ruano of Spain and Paola Suarez of Argentina 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 in an energy-packed final. Another Chinese player, Li Na, made a breakthrough in the women's singles draw last week. Li was the first Chinese player to reach the singles quarter-finals at a Grand Slam event before her run was ended by Belgian Kim Clijsters. Since Li Ting and Sun Tiantian's victory in the women's doubles at the 2004 Athens Olympics, China has made big strides in women's tennis.
