Jurgen Melzer and Philipp Petzschner defeated No. 16 seeds Robert Lindstedt and Horia Tecau 6-1, 7-5, 7-5 in the final of the The Championships at Wimbledon to win their first grand slam title.

This is the first season Melzer and Petzschner have teamed up in doubles. They won their first ATP World Tour team title at the PBZ Zagreb Indoors.

“I think we're just two good tennis players, two good singles players, who proved in the past that we could play doubles,” assessed Melzer. “It was just a matter of how good we get together. We played great from the first round. Had one tough one in the semis. But still I think we really played good, good doubles the two weeks.”

They are the first unseeded team to win the title since qualifiers Stephen Huss and Wesley Moodie did it in 2005.

“I think we had a really good start in the match,” said Petzschner. “We played incredible tennis the first set. I think also the second set we were the much better team. I think we just played one of our best matches out there today. I think we deserved to win.”
