Croatians Mektić and Pavić win Wimbledon men's doubles title

ZAGREB, 11 July (Hina) - Top seeds Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic on Saturday won the Wimbledon men's doubles title when they defeated Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos 6-4 7-6(5) 2-6 7-5 and thus became the first all-Croatian pair to capture a Grand Slam men's doubles title.

Their victory happened 20 years after Goran Ivanišević, the best Croatian tennis player, defeated Patrick Rafter, to be become the lowest-ranked player and the first wildcard entry to win Wimbledon.

In 2018, another Croatian tennis player, Ivan Dodig, clinched Wimbledon's mixed doubles title  with his partner Latisha Chan.
