Kudermetova and mertens win women's doubles final at wimbledon
Veronika Kudermetova secured her first Grand Slam title by teaming up with Elise Mertens to win the women's doubles final at Wimbledon on Sunday, rallying to beat Hsieh Su-Wei and Jelena Ostapenko 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 on Centre Court. Kudermetova and Mertens were on opposite sides in the final in 2021 but were playing at Wimbledon together for the first time this year. They trailed 4-2 in the third set but won the last four games to seal the comeback. It is Mertens' fifth Grand Slam doubles title and second at Wimbledon. In 2021, she teamed up with Hsieh to win a marathon final where they saved two match points against Kudermetova and Elena Vesnina. 'I lost that final and it was so painful,' Kudermetova said. 'Today I said to myself I really want it. And it's mine now.' Hsieh has won the Wimbledon doubles title four times with three different partners. Ostapenko won the 2017 French Open singles title and was looking for a second major doubles title after winning the US Open last year with Lyudmyla Kichenok.

Prince and Princess of Wales attend Wimbledon final between Alcaraz and Sinner
LONDON: Kate, the Princess of Wales, returned to Wimbledon on Sunday along with her husband Prince William and their daughter Charlotte to watch the men's final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Kate is the patron of the All England Club and was scheduled to present the trophies after the match. On Saturday, she was the only member of her family in the Royal Box for the women's final and gave champion Iga Swiatek her prize after a 6-0, 6-0 victory and offered consoling words to runner-up Amanda Anisimova. On Sunday they were set to be joined by King Felipe VI of Spain, a number of former Wimbledon champions and a slew of Hollywood celebrities. Actors Keira Knightley, Matthew McConaughey, Nicole Kidman and John Lithgow were all set to be seated in the Royal Box, as was London Mayor Sadiq Khan. Last year, while recovering from cancer, Kate did not attend the women's final but was on hand for Alcaraz's win against Novak Djokovic at the All England Club. She has been gradually returning to public duties and recently welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron during a state visit to Britain.
