    BBC Two

    Doubles champion Jordanne Whiley: "This is far by the most special [of the Wimbeldon wins]. I was out for eight months with injury. I hadn't played with Yui for a year. Yui is my best friend. I'd do anything for Yui and she would do the same for me."

    Doubles champion Yui Kamiji: "I'd like to thank Jordanne. Thank you to the audience."

    Whiley/Kamiji 2-6 6-3 6-0 Buis/De Groot

    A third Championship point.

    THEY'VE DONE IT!

    The fantastic Yui Kamiji charges towards the net once more to send her forehand between the two Dutch players and beyond their reach for the decisive title-clinching point.

    Jordanne Whiley's guile, especially with her backhand, and Kamiji's speed were the key to defeating the second seeds.

    That is the pair's fourth successive doubles title at Wimbledon.

    What an achievement!

    Trumps a Sunday morning lie-in.

    A deuce battles ensues.

    Championship point.

    Saved again thanks to De Groot's forehand.

    And so it continues...

    Whiley/Kamiji 2-6 6-3 5-0 Buis/De Groot

    30-0.

    Great backhand volley from Whiley at the net makes it 30-15. The Brit then produces a stunning backhand slice from the back - that's her signature shot.

    30-30.

  5. Within touching distance...published at 12:44 British Summer Time 16 July 2017

    Whiley/Kamiji 2-6 6-3 5-0 Buis/De Groot

    The Dutch are forcing the other duo back in the first point - surely this is their's?

    But no. Whiley fires a lovely forehand in between the tramlines.

    Kamiji then produces a slapped angled forehand. It's 40-15.

    They hold.

    Whiley and Kamiji are one game away from the title. What a fightback!

    Whiley/Kamiji 2-6 6-3 4-0 Buis/De Groot

    A lot of errors coming from De Groot in the past few games.

    Two poor over-the-head shots give their opponents two break points. In all fairness, she's had a long tournament - and she's 19. Is that an excuse?

    One is saved but then Buis' serve is broken.

    4-0 to Whiley and Kamiji - they can smell the title.

    Whiley/Kamiji 2-6 6-3 3-0 Buis/De Groot

    Kamiji is serving brilliantly.

    What is interesting is the pair are really closing the space on their side of the court not giving the Dutch pair much room. Stark contrast to the first set.

    A long return from Buis sees Whiley and Kamiji hold.

    3-0.

    De Groot, the new Wimbeldon singles champion, is having issues with her serve.

    It's 15-40. two break points.

    The first is converted.

    Broken.

    A long way to go but can Whiley and Kamiji hold for a glorious end?

    The Anglo-Japanese partnership hold, but that was nervy.

    Whiley/Kamiji 2-6 6-3 0-0 Buis/De Groot

    Two superb returns from De Groot and Buis move the Dutch to 0-30 on the Whiley serve.

    A Buis return into the body of Whiley brings up break point.

    All three saved. Kamiji moves like a demon to make a return at the net. She's been doing that all match. Energy.

    Another break point from an error. But it's saved once more.

    We are back to deuce.

    ...and there's more...

  11. 'Whiley's fitness is key'published at 12:21 British Summer Time 16 July 2017

    The slicefest from Kamiji and Whiley is working.

    They have the momentum and belief but it's about whether they can keep up the same standard.

    Whiley's fitness is not quite up there yet, so it'll be interesting to see.

    Whiley/Kamiji 2-6 6-3 Buis/De Groot

    De Groot has a 'mare with her serve - the double fault brings up set point for Whiley and Kamiji.

    Another double fault hands the pair the set.

    The quality is increasing and the tension is rising.

    Whiley/Kamiji 2-6 5-3 Buis/De Groot

    This set is very to and fro.

    15-30 on the Kamiji serve.

    It's now break point for the Dutch. But Whiley's superb sliced backhand barely gets off the turf on the other side. Killed it.

    Advantage again but Whiley forces an error from Buis.

    The Anglo-Japanese duo eventually hold.

    What's this? Double-double fault by Buis.

    It's 15-40.

    She slams the side of her racquet into the ground in frustration.

    The 2016 French Open singles winner then fails to send her volley over the net.

    Broken.

    Whiley/Kamiji 2-6 3-3 Buis/De Groot

    Hmm.

    0-40. Three break points for the Dutch pair.

    It's not that Whiley was struggling with her serve, it's just the Dutch were returning with good deep shots.

    Whiley's umpteenth error with her forehand from the back sees the Dutch break back.

  16. Postpublished at 12:02 British Summer Time 16 July 2017

    Whiley/Kamiji 2-6 3-2 Buis/De Groot

    De Groot serves.

    Buis' forehand down the line brings up 40-0.

    A good serve from her Dutch partner De Groot seals the game. De Groot is only 19 and three in the singles rankings.

    Big future? Yes.

    Whiley/Kamiji 2-6 3-1 Buis/De Groot

    Kamiji to serve.

    Good pressure from Whiley who comes to the net and forces an error from Buis.

    De Groot then finds the net with her return.

    It's now 40-0 - this is all going rather swimmingly for the three-time Wimbers champions.

    They hold to 15. And they still have the break on court three.

    Whiley/Kamiji 2-6 2-1 Buis/De Groot

    The Dutch pair hold but appear to be struggling with their serve.

    Both Whiley and Kamiji are starting to look good from the back. The Japanese player's sliced returns are annoying the opponents.

    Whiley/Kamiji 2-6 2-0 Buis/De Groot

    It seems that Whiley and Kamiji have found their mojo.

    The Japanese player, who just failed to meet a drop-shot in the first set, this time powers up to the net for a great pick up to seal the service game.

    A superb effort.
