WIMBLEDON, England — A day after Serena beat Venus in the women's final at Wimbledon, the Williams sisters were back on Centre Court. This time, both were winners.

        With a cold wind swirling and rain clouds threatening, the sisters beat French Open champions Paola Suarez and Virginia Ruano Pascual 6-2, 7-5 Sunday to take the women's doubles title.

        The Williams sisters broke serve at love to wrap up the match with the type of power that marked the first set of their singles match the day before.

        Venus hit a booming forehand that Pascual mis-hit. Love-15. Serena smashed a backhand from the baseline that forced Pascual into a backhand error into the net. Love-30. Venus hit a backhand winner down the line, love-40. Back to Serena, who hit another stinging forehand. Match over.

        There were no fist pumps, no major celebrations. But the siblings had their second Wimbledon title in three years, their fifth Grand Slam title overall and a seal on their domination of this year's women's draw.

        After playing seven rounds in singles and six in doubles, the Williams' Wimbledon ledger reads 19 wins, 1 loss. The defeat belonged to Venus in the singles final, but someone had to lose.

        “I'm going to eat candy, rest, get off the practice court and just relax, relax, relax,” Venus said.

        Venus and Serena broke Pascual and Suarez five times in nine opportunities, including three times in the opening set when there were five breaks of serve.

        Venus held in the opening game and the sisters broke in the next game to go up 2-0. Pascual and Suarez broke back, then held for 2-2.

        In the fourth game, Venus, hitting from behind the baseline, plopped Suarez in the stomach near the net with a forehand blast that appeared to temporarily stun the Argentine player.

        The Williams sisters held, broke and held again for 5-2. They won the first set on their second set point when Venus' drop shot was backhanded into the crowd by Suarez.

        There were plenty of long and exciting rallies, several that involved six or seven consecutive volleys among all four players.

        In the final game of the opening set, Pascual fell and spun off court after returning a ball, but the Spanish player managed to get back into the play two points later. The Williams sisters still won the point.

        Venus and Serena lamented their lack of shopping time in London, but their suitcases will be packed with a miniature replica of the Venus Rosewater Dish — Serena's for the singles crown — and two miniatures of the Challenge Cup for doubles.
