Italian tennis duo Sara Errani and Roberta Vinci completed their career Grand Slam as the won the ladies doubles final at Wimbledon in straight sets.
The second seeds overcame the number 14 seeds Hungary's Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic from France 6-1, 6-3.
According to the BBC, Errani and Vinci had bagged the French and US Opens in 2012 before winning the Australia Open title earlier this year.
They are the first pair to complete the Grand Slam set since Venus and Serena Williams in 2001.
The Italian pair, who had to come from a set down in their first-round match against Lyudmyla and Nadiia Kichenok, did not hit a single unforced error throughout the final, which lasted just less than an hour.
Errani and Vinci have become just the fifth team in history to complete the career Slam, the report added.
