Yan & Zheng Win the Wimbledon Women's Doubles Title

Fourth-seeded Zi Yan and Jie Zheng (of China) won the women's doubles championship, defeating Virginia Ruano Pascual (of Spain) and Paola Suarez (of Argentina) 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 in a little over two hours.

Yes, you gotta laugh about it, but why does
stuff like this happen so often in pro doubles?
Pasqual and Suarez had won the other three major doubles titles in the past. Zheng and Yan won today because they returned serve well, pressuring the weak serves of Pasqual and Suarez.

However, there is not much else good to say about the match (which put me to sleep). Though it never makes sense to play both-back while your opponents are both-back too, both teams played much of the match from the baseline. Safer? How so? with the net as high and the court as narrow as it is from back there? (Not to mention the poor angles.) Jeez, let's squander the advantages of grass and maximize the disadvantages by letting bad bounces determine the winner.

And the proof is in the pudding: all that caution was counterproductive. In the 26 games, there were 54 unforced errors and 9 double-faults, many at crucial moments. Pasqual and Suarez actually managed to win fewer points off their first serve than their second.
