Aussie pair into doubles final

Aussie pair into doubles final

04/07/2009 10:05 AM

Australians Sam Stosure and Rennae Stubbs have won through to the Wimbledon doubles final after defeating the Spanish pair of Anabel Medina Garrigues and Virginia Ruano Pascual in the semi finals.

The No.3 seeds booked their spot in the final with a come-from-behind 6-7 (3-7) 6-4 6-2 victory and will now meet defending champions Serena and Venus Williams.

The sisters thrashed the top seeds to secure their place in the Wimbledon women's doubles final.

The Williamses, who will contest Saturday night's singles final, took apart the game of Zimbabwe's Cara Black and American Liezel Huber to win 6-1 6-2 on Court One.

The tone was set from the start as the American pair, seeded fourth, won the opening five games, and the Black-Huber team could not fight back in the second set.

Meanwhile, Bernard Tomic is out of the running for the Boys' singles crown after losing 6-3 7-6 (8-6) to Russian Andrey Kuznetsov.
