Verbeek and Siniakova win Wimbledon mixed doubles title
July 10 (Reuters) - Czech Katerina Siniakova and Sem Verbeek of the Netherlands claimed the Wimbledon mixed doubles title on Thursday, defeating Britain's Joe Salisbury and Brazilian Luisa Stefani 7-6(3) 7-6(3). Facing home favourite Salisbury and Stefani on Centre Court, the Czech-Dutch duo held their nerve, while Stefani appeared to be hampered by a leg issue in the second set. As Siniakova sealed victory with an overhead smash, the duo celebrated their first title together, Siniakova's maiden mixed doubles Grand Slam and Verbeek's first Grand Slam triumph of any kind. "It's very special, I mean it means a lot -- we had a lot of fun on the court and I really enjoyed it, it was a really amazing time here," Siniakova said after lifting the trophy. For the 29-year-old Siniakova, the win added to her 10 Grand Slam women's doubles titles, including the Australian Open crown with American Taylor Townsend in January. "Katerina, thank you so much, it's been an honour to compete next to such a great doubles legend, one of the best to ever do it and thank you for making this a Thursday I will remember for the rest of my life," the 31-year-old Verbeek said. Salisbury, who faced the disappointment of home fans hoping to see a British champion, said margins did not fall in his and Stefani's favour. "It's always tough to lose a final but they played amazing so congratulations. They were too good in the tie-breaks today," Salisbury said.

Katerina Siniakova and Sem Verbeek win Wimbledon mixed-doubles title
LONDON (AP) — Katerina Siniakova added to her collection of major titles by winning the mixed doubles at Wimbledon with Sem Verbeek in a 7-6 (3), 7-6 (3) victory over Luisa Stefani and Joe Salisbury on Thursday. Siniakova, a 10-time Grand Slam women's doubles champion from the Czech Republic, hit a smash on the first match point at a half-full but lively Centre Court. It's a first major title for Verbeek, and the Dutchman celebrated by having the crowd join him in singing 'Happy Birthday To You' to his father. Siniakova is also a two-time Olympic champion. She won gold in mixed doubles with Tomas Machac at the Paris Games last year. She teamed with Barbora Krejcikova to win the women's doubles gold at the Tokyo Games in 2021. Of Siniakova's 10 major women's doubles titles, seven were with Krejcikova, two with Taylor Townsend, and one with Coco Gauff at last year's French Open. ___ AP tennis:
