The 2025 Ladies' Doubles Champions - Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens ??
— Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 13, 2025
The pair recover from going a set down to defeat Su-Wei Hsieh and Jelena Ostapenko 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 and claim their first Grand Slam title together ?#Wimbledon pic.twitter.com/16sALGAsWr
With not only the Wimbledon title but also the doubles #1 ranking at stake based on the result of the final, Veronika Kudermetova & Elise Mertens added their first major title as a pair by taking their fourth tour crown (after coming up short earlier this season on both ends of the Madrid/Rome 1000 combo) with a three-set win over Hsieh Su-wei & Alona Ostapenko, who were also runners-up at this year's Australian Open. It's their first title together since the 2022 WTA Finals. Kudermetova gets her first slam honors, four years after having held two MP (w/ Elena Vesnina) in the SW19 final *against* Mertens (then playing with Hsieh... yes, doubles can get crazy sometimes). It's Mertens' second Wimbledon title, having won in '21 with Hsieh, in what was her fourth final appearance in the event in the last five years with four different partners: '21 Hsieh, '22 Zhang Shuai, '23 Storm Hunter and now Kudermetova. Did I already say that WD is crazy sometimes. The win adds a grass court doubles crown this summer to the singles title Mertens won at Rosmalen last month, as her nice, barely-noticed season continues to be built block-by-block. Had Hsieh/Ostapenko won, Ostapenko would have become the new doubles #1, becoming the first Latvian to top a tour ranking list. Thus, Katerina Siniakova, who'd been the defending WD champion (w/ Taylor Townsend) before a loss to Hsieh/Ostapenko in the semis, holds onto her top spot. On Monday, the Czech will be #1 for the 160th week in her career, just three behind Cara Black for the third-most all-time. Siniakova won this Wimbledon's MX title (her first at slam level). Of course, unfortunately, she doesn't get any ranking points for *that*.

...speaking of Cara Black, the 46-year old from Zimbabwe added yet another Wimbledon title to her career SW19 haul today, teaming with Martina Hingis to win the Invitational (Legends) Doubles, defeating Dominika Cibulkova & Barboara Strycova 2 & 3 in the final. It's Black's third win in the event (w/ 2017 & '19 w/ the other Martina, as in Navratilova), while Hingis has won the last four years (three w/ Kim Clijsters) and seven times overall both between and around her various retirements and comebacks. Brit Katie O'Brien teamed with Sweden's Thomas Johansson to win the Invitational Mixed, defeating Iva Majoli & Sebastien Grosjean 6-2/6-2.

...in the wheelchair doubles final, Li Xiaohui & Wang Ziying picked up their second '25 major (w/ AO) with a 3 & 1 win over first-time slam finalists Angelica Bernal & Ksenia Chasteau. With the win Wang becomes the third different woman (Diede de Groot has done it twice) to sweep the Wimbledon wheelchair s/d titles since both events were contested in the same event starting in 2016.

...there were three 125 challengers contested over the course of the final week of Wimbledon, two on clay and one on grass. On the grass in Newport, Caty McNally reminisced about what *could* have been (she was the only player to take a set off Iga Swiatek at this year's Wimbledon) and won her second career 125 singles title, solving the riddle of Queen's Club champ Tatjana Maria in a 2-6/6-4/6-2 victory in the final. This was the first edition of the Hall of Fame Open for the women, coming more than a quarter century after the end of a series of women's events in Newport (mostly as part of the Virginia Slims era of the WTA tour, as well as some invitational events) held from the early 1970s until the late 1990s. Oklahoma Sooners teammates (and sisters) Carmen & Ivana Corley won the doubles.

On the dirt in Bastad, Elisabetta Cocciaretto followed up her SW19 3rd Round (after an upset of #3 Jessie Pegula, and taking eventual semifinalist Belinda Bencic to a 3rd set TB) with her fourth career 125 win (along w/ 1 WTA win in Lausanne in '23) via a final victory over Katarzyna Kawa; while Francesca Jones won her biggest career title in Contrexeville with a win over Elsa Jacquemot.
| 1. | Iga Swiatek | ...suddenly, Swiatek is a grass court star, even if this sort of thing never happens again. Wimbledon has a way with these sort of moments (see Conchita, Maria, Andre and others). No one was more consistent this grass season, though, and suddenly all is swell in the Land of Swiatek. |
| 2. | Amanda Anisimova | ...her forays into finals at Queen's Club and SW19 didn't produce titles, but they put her back -- six years removed from her first big slam run in Paris -- where she'd once *seemed* to be headed |
| 3. | V.Kudermetova/Mertens | ...hey, Mertens *owed* it to Kudermetova, right? I mean she was on the other side of the net in 2021 when Kudermetova saw two MP come and go in the Wimbledon WD final. Flashforward four years and the Belgian was now on *Kudermetova's* side, and she finally got her that maiden slam title. |
| 4. | Aryna Sabalenka | ...one set from a fourth straight slam final, Sabalenka was left holding the bag in the semis by Anisimova. She still reached at least that stage for the ninth time in her last eleven majors. |
| 5. | Wang Ziying (WC) | ...with de Groot still not *back* (and with Li Xiaohui still the Dutch star's new nemesis), and Kamiji still star-crossed at the AELTC, Wang swept the Wimbledon singles and doubles titles, becoming the first Chinese wheelchair slam singles champ |
| 6. | Belinda Bencic | ...like Anisimova, Bencic's second major semifinal came six years after her first and on a different surface. Their stories took different paths in the intervening years, but both comebacks reached their height (so far) at SW19. |
| 7. | Tatjana Maria | ...three years after reaching the Wimbledon SF, the 37-year old German won Queen's Club in the return of the women's event, then after a disappointing trip to SW19 she closed out the grass season with a 125 final in Newport |
| 8. | Laura Siegemund | ...another 37-year old German, Siegemund won a WD title at Nottingham and then became the oldest first-time Wimbledon quarterfinalist (topping Maria's three-year old record), nearly taking out #1 Sabalenka to equal Maria's 2022 run |
| 9. | Marketa Vondrousova | ...healthy again, Vondrousova upset #1 Sabalenka and won in Berlin, her first title since taking Wimbledon in 2023 |
| 10. | Elise Mertens | ...a singles winner at Rosmalen, second week player at Wimbledon (4r) and then a slam doubles champion in her fourth SW19 final in five years |
| HM- | Danilina (3 grass F in 3 wks. w/ 3 partners, after RG RU w/ 4th), Joint (Eastbourne W), Kessler (Nottingham W), Li/Wang (WI WC doubles), Muhammad/Schuurs (Queen's Club W), Pegula (Bad Homburg W), Pohankova (WI Jr. W), Sierra (first WI LL 4r), Siniakova (WI MX) |
...she has one more chance to avoid being a ranking footnote: season-ending #1 without a slam title? Of course... 2. Iga Swiatek, POL
...suddenly those two previous slam SF look pretty good, and with the world #1 *without* a major title in '25, Iga is now squarely in the middle of the Player of the Year discussion, and maybe year-end #1, too 3. Coco Gauff, USA
...hey, the last time she lost in the 1st Round at Wimbledon she had the summer of her career back home in the U.S. 4. Mirra Andreeva, RUS
...future slam champion, and also future Coach of the Year??? 5. Errani/Paolini, ITA/ITA
...they lead the tour in titles (3) and won Roland Garros, but are still #2 in the Points Race. No matter, they're the Doubles Team of the Year so far. 6. Madison Keys, USA
...needs to follow up her AO title with another win now that the summer hard court season has arrived. Pulled the 37-year old German two-fer with losses to both Maria and Siegemund this grass season. 7. Jessie Pegula, USA
...was flying high with her Bad Homburg title, but crashed out of Wimbledon (then saw fellow Bad Homburg finalist Iga win it all). Has Canada (W) and U.S. Open (RU) points to defend this summer. Eeew... good luck with that task, Jess. 8. Yui Kamiji, JPN (WC)
...took the AO/RG wheelchair titles either without or with a still-not-100% de Groot in the field, but couldn't complete her career major title set at Wimbledon. All four of Kamiji's losses this season have come to either Li Xiaohui or Wang Ziying. She's 27-0 against everyone else (and 39-0 since last year's Wimbledon). 9. Jasmine Paolini, ITA
...not the slam singles revelation of a year ago, but an even bigger doubles threat. Plus, she's an Italian who took the Rome singles crown. 10. Siniakova/Townsend, CZE/USA
...lead the Points Race, but feel like the *#2* team in '25. They're still the most likely to challenge the Italians for doubles duo of the year. HM- Amanda Anisimova/USA and Belinda Bencic/SUI
...the two big comeback stories of the year, with both hoping to put together a strong concluding Act

| WIMBLEDON "PROP PICKS" FINAL UPDATE |
| 1. | The Wimbledon champion will be a former SW19 finalist, or an unnamed first-time Czech Wimbledon finalist. NO, and NO. I tried to be too cute here and thread the needle with a fairly small group of eligible winners, and probably needed a big run from Rybakina or maybe (after her pre-WI title) Vondrousova to have a shot. Nope. (0/2) |
| 2. | The runner-up will be a first-time Wimbledon finalist who *has* reached a final at another major. If Swiatek had lost the final (or Sabalenka had reached the final), this would (or might) have been golden. Not so much, though. (0/3) |
| 3. | Dark Horse: Amanda Anisimova Finally, a YES. Win or lose in the final (or, you know, one game won or none), the Dark Horse pick held up. (1/3) |
| 4. | A final four member will be a first-time slam semifinalist, and be outside the Top 20 seeded players (possibly unseeded, and probably more likely so). If I'd only finessed this one a bit... make it first-time WIMBLEDON semifinalist, say, then Bencic would have fully qualified. She did match the second-half (hey, I *did* use a comma!), though, so I'm going to make this a two-parter. (2/5) |
| x- | I considered a pick about Top 10 seeds reaching the QF. I figured *two*, with definitely no more than *three*. There were three (#1 Sabalenka, #7 Andreeva and #8 Swiatek). Missed opportunity. Expect this one back for the U.S. Open. |

...with the new rankings coming out Monday, a quick update on the new state of the tennis world.
* - After jumping back to #4 before Wimbledon with her Bad Homburg final, Iga Swiatek climbs back into the Top 3, settling in behind Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff. Sabalenka's lead is still huge -- by 4751 over Gauff, 5607 over Swiatek -- but she has U.S. Open title points to defend to end the 3Q. * - Swiatek moves past Gauff to #2 in the Points Race behind Sabalenka. * - TOP 10 UP/DOWN: Mirra Andreeva rises to a career high #5, while Amanda Anisimova makes her Top 10 debut at #7, pushing AO champ Madison Keys down to #8. There are still four U.S. women in the Top 10, with Emma Navarro slipping out to #11 (she'll have '24 U.S. Open semi points to defend soon). * - TOP 20: Former Wimbledon champ Barbora Krejcikova falls (way) out from #16 to #77, while Beatriz Haddad Maia slips down one to #21. They're replaced by Clara Tauson (making her Top 20 debut at #19) and Belinda Bencic (jumping 15 spots and returning at #20). Karolina Muchova moved up *two* to #12 (imagine if...). * - TOP 50 NOTES: Jessica Bouzas Maneiro makes her debut at #50, while Hailey Baptiste does so at #48. Sonay Kartal reaches another new career high at #44, hot on the tail of GBR #1 Katie Boulter (#41), with Emma Raducanu third at #45. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (+20) is back in the Top 30 at #30, while Linda Noskova reaches a new career high of #23. * - TOP 100: '24 SW19 semifinalist Donna Vekic falls from #27 to #52, while '25 quarterfinalist Laura Siegemund climbs 50 to #54 (she's not the highest-ranked 37-year old German, though, as Tatjana Maria is #36). Wimbledon LL Solana Sierra is #67 (up 34), while Elsa Jacquemot makes her Top 100 debut at #95. '24 Wimbledon quarterfinalist Lulu Sun slips 47 to #94. * - TOP 200: Caty McNally, off a 125 title after pushing Iga (for a set) at SW19, begins her comeback ascent, climbing 73 to #135. ITF title leader Janice Tjen cracks the Top 200 at #198. * - LOOK OUT ABOVE: Dasha Vidmanova climbs still more, up 68 to #181. * - LOOK OUT BELOW? (i.e. not-great rankings of note): #71 Ons Jabeur, #88 Maria Sakkari, #91 Victoria Azarenka and #185 (!!) Bianca Andreescu (she's now the CAN #6). * - TEENS IN THE TOP 100: #5 Mirra Andreeva, #37 Maya Joint, #86 Victoria Mboko and #87 Iva Jovic. * - DOUBLES: #1 Katerina Siniakova keeps her #1 ranking, with her 160th career week atop the heap (4th best all-time) starting Monday. Alona Ostapenko, who was a set away from #1 in the Wimbledon final, is at a career-high #3. Only Jasmine Paolini is in the Top 10 in both s/d, while Mirra Andreeva and Diana Shnaider are double Top 20ers. Ostapenko (#25/#3) and SW19 doubles winner Elise Mertens (#22/#13) are close.
