Unseeded Svetlana Kuznetsova and Vera Zvonareva won the Australian Open women’s doubles crown yesterday, coming from behind to beat Italian pair Roberta Vinci and Sara Errani in three sets.
The Russians overcame a poor start from Zvonareva in particular to win the title 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 at the Rod Laver Arena.
The title is the second grand slam doubles crown for both Kuz-netsova and Zvonareva, though with different partners.
Zvonareva also has two mixed doubles titles.
