I know I am really late with this but better late than…
South African Liezel Huber and Cara Black of Zimbabwe won their second womens doubles title at Wimbledon this year. What a fantastic accomplishment and to have done it twice is just phenomenal. Huber and Black won the same title in 2005.
A brief look back on previous South African contestants in the Wimbledon Championship:
Sandra Reynolds was runner up in the 1960 women’s singles tourament and also won four Grand Slam women’s doubles championships and one Grand Slam mixed doubles championship.
Kevin Curren reached two men’s singles finals and finished runner up twice! (he did manage to win four other Grand Slam titles.
Wesley Moodie won the men’s doubles in 2005 with Stephen Huss.
For a full list of Championship winners, browse through Wikipedia.
That is the best I could find, I am sure that there are others so if you know of any, please let me know!!
