Accordingly, we list its greatest women&#8217;s doubles champions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Greatest Women&#8217;s Doubles Wimbledon Champions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Suzanne Lenglen <\/strong>and <strong>Elizabeth Ryan<\/strong> (1919-23, 1925)<br>American Elizabeth Ryan was the most dominant women&#8217;s Wimbledon Doubles player in history. During the period of 1914-1934, Ryan appeared in 13 finals, winning 12 of them. However, her greatest pairing was with fellow American Suzanne Lenglen. In addition to winning a record six titles as a team, the pair also hold the record of five consecutive titles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serena Williams<\/strong> and <strong>Venus Williams<\/strong> (2000, 2002, 2008-09, 2012, 2016)<br>The Williams sisters were one of the most dominating teams in Wimbledon history, tying the record for most Doubles titles as a team, with six. In fact, Serena and Venus are a perfect 6-0 in Wimbledon doubles play.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Martina Navratilova <\/strong>and <strong>Pam Shriver<\/strong> (1981-84, 1986)<br>Navratilova and Shiriver were one of the greatest teams of all-time. However, as good as they were they could have been much better. The team shockingly split in 1989, thus depriving fans the pleasure of seeing this team win even more Wimbledon titles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rosie Casals <\/strong>and <strong>Billie Jean King<\/strong> (1967-68, 1970-71, 1973)<br>In addition to being a great Wimbledon team that won five titles, Casals and King were part of the &#8220;Original 9&#8221;. This group was responsible for elevating women&#8217;s tennis to a level on par with the men.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Louise Brough <\/strong>and <strong>Margaret Osbourne-duPont<\/strong> (1946, 1948-50, 1954)<br>These two American ladies were known for their big serves as well as their doubles prowess at Wimbledon. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Gigi Fernandez <\/strong>and <strong>Natasha Zvereva<\/strong> (1992-94, 1997)<br>This is a classic example of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. As singles, Fernandez and Zvereva were underachievers as well as being considered somewhat hot-headed. However, when they teamed up, they were outstanding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Breaking News!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>As long as
