Williams sisters win Open doubles title

It was a fourth Australian Open women's doubles title, an 11th grand slam doubles
championship, the Williams' sisters 39th grand slam victory in all forms of the
game. Most of all, it was fun.
Serena and Venus Williams continued to rewrite the record books as Serena tuned up
for her women's final against Justine Henin on Saturday with an hour and a half on
court with her sister, defending their Australian Open women's doubles title.
The Americans overcame world No.1 doubles combination Cara Black of Zimbabwe and
Liezel Huber of the United States at Melbourne Park on Friday 6-4 6-3.
For Serena, it was her fourth big match in less than 48 hours after her singles
quarter-final and semi-final, and doubles semi.
But while the workload is imposing, Serena said the payoff was worth the extra
effort because of the enjoyment of sharing with her sister.
"We were talking today, we wished we had played more (doubles) when we were younger
but it's difficult because we had so much to win," Serena said.
"We love being out there, we love the competition, we have fun, we smile."
Venus, who exited the singles in the quarter-finals, was the only player not to lose
her serve in the match as both combinations played some excellent tennis.
So focused was Venus that she didn't notice their final break of serve was
championship point, leaving her non-plussed as Serena danced around court and having
to let her know the title was theirs.
"I didn't know the score - I thought it was 5-2 and I don't know how I lost track,"
Venus said.
"I thought Serena's really happy about this break, so I'll go with it!
"I was really focused, but they played really well and as a team, so Serena and I
just had to work together."
