The Chinese ladies' doubles pair of Zi Yan and Jie Zheng beat the more experienced grand slam ladies' doubles pair of Virginia Ruano Pascual and Paola Suarez 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 in 128 minutes to give the Chinese their first ever Wimbledon trophy. Yan and Zheng were also the Ladies' Doubles Champions in the Australian Open in January this year.
China's reputation as a booming tennis nation was also boosted when Na Li, the first ever seeded Chinese singles player, made it to the quarter finals in this year's Wimbledon Championships where she lost to Kim Clijsters. A Chinese ladies' singles grand slam champion is on the horizon!
