Peng gave China its first doubles title at a major in seven years.  

The eighth-seeded Peng and Hsieh, who did not face a seeded team until the final, started playing together in 2008, when they won their first 11 matches. They now have six titles together.

The 12th-seeded Dellacqua and Barty were bidding to become the first all-Australian team to win the women's title at the All England Club since 1978.
