Martina Hingis wins Wimbledon Legends doubles with Lindsay Davenport
Martina Hingis of Switzerland and Lindsay Davenport of the United States defeated Martina Navratilova of the United States and Jana Novotna of the Czech Republic, 6-4, 6-4, to win the title in Wimbledon Ladies Invitational Doubles.
It was a more tightly contested match than their 2011 French Open meeting, but the result was ultimately the same, as Hingis and Davenport broke their opponents four times in two sets.
Court 18 was packed with spectators who were thrilled to watch four great legends rekindle some of the magic that made them so great.
All of the women had won Wimbledon titles in both singles and doubles during their careers, and the match featured three players who had held the No. 1 ranking at some point, the exception being Jana Novotna, whose career-high singles ranking was No. 2 in the world.
