Even though it had been three years since their last Grand Slam victory, Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina were still considered a title threat entering Wimbledon. Winning the Olympics and season-ending championships last year only reinforced that.

At Wimbledon this past weekend, they finally added another Slam to their career title haul—in dominant fashion.

The second-seeded Russians beat Monica Niculescu and Hao-Ching Chan, 6-0, 6-0. It was the first time in more than 60 years that the women’s doubles was decided by such a lopsided scoreline.

Makarova and Vesnina have now won three Grand Slam doubles titles together, also winning the 2013 French Open and the 2014 U.S. Open.
