LONDON — 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. “Oh my God, there is no word to describe the feeling,” said a beaming Strycova, who lost to Serena Williams in the women’s singles semi-finals. They became the first team to lift the doubles crown at Wimbledon without dropping a set since Serena and Venus Williams in 2009. “I felt like this tournament, especially Wimbledon, from the first moment we stepped on the court together, we just laughed and we just enjoyed,” the Czech said. That helps me also to relax on the court.”Strycova, 33, had also become the oldest Wimbledon singles semi-final debutant when she lost to Serena on Thursday.
