Tennis champions Venus (1) and Serena Williams proudly show off their winning trophy after their women's doubles final victory of 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 against Paola Suarez from Argentina and Virginia Ruano Pascual of Spain at the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne, making this their sixth Grand Slam doubles title.

The honor marked the second time that the top-seeded sisters took home the Australian trophy that they originally won in 2000. Their other titles came at the French and U.S. Opens in `99 and at Wimbledon in 2000 and 2002. "We want to dedicate this win to Mom," Venus said following the victory. "Thanks Mom, we love you and you've been there all the way and we'll be there for you, I promise."
