Oldest winners of a Grand Slam women’s doubles title (combined age)

Su-Wei Hsieh (Taiwan, China, b. 4 January 1986) and Barbora Strýcová (Czechia, b. 28 March 1986) had a combined age of 74 years 303 days when they teamed up to win the female doubles title at Wimbledon on 16 July 2023. Strýcová (at the age of 37 years 110 days) and Hsieh (37 years 193 days) returned to the scene of their greatest success as a doubles pair, winning Wimbledon 2023 four years after their only previous Grand Slam doubles title together, at SW19 in 2019. Their surprise win, 7–5, 6–4 against opponents almost 20 years (combined) their juniors in No.3 seeds Storm Hunter and Elise Mertens, came after Strýcová reversed her decision to retire from tennis in 2021 – the year she gave birth to her son, Vincent.

Liezel Huber (South Africa/USA, b. 21 August 1976), aged 35 years 21 days, and Lisa Raymond (USA, b. 10 August 1973), aged 38 years 32 days, had a combined age of 73 years 53 days when they won the 2011 US Open ladies’ doubles title on 11 September 2011. Huber and Raymond were the oldest women’s doubles pairing to win a Grand Slam title prior to the spectacular re-emergence of Hsieh and Strýcová at Wimbledon 2023.

Hsieh is now a six-time Grand Slam doubles champion, having won at Wimbledon (2013, 2019, 2021 and 2023) and the French Open (2014 and 2023). Her second win at Roland Garros was the first tournament of her comeback after missing all four majors in 2022 and the 2023 Australian Open. Strýcová, playing in her first Grand Slam doubles tournament since the 2021 Australian Open, has confirmed that her pro career will end (again) after the 2023 US Open.
