Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci completed a career doubles grand slam on Saturday with a 6-1 6-3 win over Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic in the Wimbledon women’s final.

The Italian pair, playing in their eighth grand slam final, broke their opponents’ serve in the sixth game of the final set under a closed roof on Centre Court – rain began falling shortly after Petra Kvitova’s singles final win over Eugenie Bouchard.

The Italians have now won five of the past 10 grand slam doubles titles.

Babos, from Hungary, and French player Mladenovic, were making their debut as a team in a grand slam tournament.

In the men’s event, American Jack Sock and Canadian Vasek Pospisil claimed the title in their first tournament together, defeating Bob and Mike Bryan 7-6 (7-5) 6-7 (3) 6-4, 3-6, 7-5 in the all-North American final.

Sock and Pospisil broke the brothers’ service in the final game on their fifth match point.

The 21-year-old Sock became the third-youngest player to win both a grand slam men’s doubles title and a grand slam mixed doubles championship in the Open era, adding to the mixed title he won with American Melanie Oudin at the US Open in 2011.

Australian Todd Woodbridge and American John McEnroe, both 20, were the only men to win both titles at a younger age, with McEnroe being the youngest.
