Kristina Mladenovic and Hanyu Guo claimed the Wimbledon 2026 women's doubles title, defeating their opponents in straight sets on Centre Court. The victory marked Mladenovic's seventh Grand Slam women's doubles triumph, making her the first Frenchwoman to win the Wimbledon doubles title since 1937.
Historic Achievement for French Tennis
Mladenovic, 33, partnered with Guo, 25, to secure a 6-4, 6-3 win over the second-seeded pair. According to Mladenovic, "It's an incredible feeling to win here at Wimbledon. To be the first Frenchwoman in nearly 90 years makes it even more special." The duo broke serve five times and saved all three break points they faced.
Dominant Performance on Grass
The unseeded pair displayed aggressive net play and precise groundstrokes throughout the match. They converted 5 of 9 break point opportunities and won 72% of points on their first serve. Guo, playing in her first Wimbledon final, added, "Kristina's experience was invaluable. We communicated perfectly out there."
Seventh Grand Slam for Mladenovic
Mladenovic now has seven Grand Slam women's doubles titles, having previously won the French Open (2016, 2019, 2022), Australian Open (2018, 2020), and US Open (2023). She also has two mixed doubles titles at Wimbledon (2013, 2016). The win moves her into a tie for 12th on the all-time list for women's doubles Grand Slam titles.
Guo's Rising Star
For Guo, this is her first Grand Slam title. The Chinese player has rapidly climbed the doubles rankings, reaching a career-high of No. 8 after the tournament. "Winning Wimbledon is a dream come true," she said. "I hope this is the first of many."
