LONDON (Reuters) - Hsieh Su-wei became the first Taiwanese player to claim a grand slam title when she and Peng Shuai beat Ashleigh Barty and Casey Dellacqua 7-6(1) 6-1 in the Wimbledon women's doubles final on Saturday. Hsieh and China's Peng, the eighth seeds, took the first set in a tiebreak and romped through the second against their 12th-seeded Australian opponents to claim their first grand slam crown. Peng is the third Chinese to win a grand slam doubles title. It was the third time Dellacqua finished runner-up in a women's doubles final at a grand slam. However, she did claim the 2011 French Open mixed doubles title with American Scott Lipsky.
