The Taiwanese-Polish duo, who won the
Australian Open title in January after coming together at the
last minute, dominated their rivals who were seeking Grand Slam
glory after becoming the first Mexican duo to reach the All
England Club final.
They were up against a well-oiled machine on Centre Court,
however, as Hsieh and Zielinski grabbed the break in the opening
game of the match before racing through the first set with
minimum fuss.
The one-way traffic continued in the second, as Hsieh and
Zielinski wrapped up the victory in 76 minutes, bringing an end
to the mixed doubles final which was moved from Thursday to
Sunday after persistent rain caused havoc with the schedule.
It was Hsieh's fifth doubles title at Wimbledon, following her
previous success in the women's doubles event in 2013, 2019,
2021 and 2023. She also took her major doubles tally to nine.
