LONDON (Reuters) - Czech Barbora Strycova completed a memorable Wimbledon as she partnered Hsieh Su-wei to the women's doubles title on Sunday, beating Canada/China duo Gabriela Dabrowski and Xu Yifan 6-2 6-4.

After the spine-tingling drama of the earlier men's singles final -- the longest in the tournament's history -- Strycova and her Taiwanese partner finally got on court to bring the curtain down on the fortnight with a straightforward victory.
