| Jordanne Whiley and Yui Kamiji |
Two years ago Briton Jordanne Whiley and her doubles partner, Japan’s Yui Kamiji, were not speaking to one another. They hadn’t had a falling-out, they just didn’t share a common language.
In a final befitting the fierce on-court rivalry shared between the top two seeds, Whiley and Kamiji were pushed to three hard-fought sets by No.2 duo Jiske Griffioen and Aniek van Koot but eventually clinched the title 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 after more than two-and-a-half hours on court.
The win was Whiley and Kamiji’s sixth Grand Slam title – and second of the 2015 season – and will be remembered as “the best ever” for home champion Whiley.
In a fluctuating start all four players were broken in the first four games. Whiley and Kamiji eventually held for a 3-2 lead, then won the next three games to take the set 6-2.
