Hail Cara Black!

Though much is being made of Maria Sharapova's Wimbledon victory--and much should--the real superstar of the tournament was Cara Black of Zimbabwe, who won not only the women's doubles championship (with Rennae Stubbs), but also the mixed doubles championship (with her brother, Wayne).

This accomplishment is wonderful on its own, but the way Black did it is amazing. Because of rain delays, she was forced to play the mixed doubles semi-final match on Sunday. She and Wayne Black defeated Lindsay Davenport and Bob Bryan, 7-5, 7-5. Then Black went to another court, where she and Stubbs defeated Liezel Huber and Ai Sugiyama 6-3, 7-6. After accepting her trophy, Black was off to play for the mixed doubles championship, in which she and her brother defeated Todd Woodbridge (who also broke a record by landing his ninth doubles title) and Alicia Molik 3-6, 7-6, 6-4, and Black accepted another trophy.

Unfortunately, the sports world cares little for tennis doubles, and there are few doubles matches shown on television. Sharapova is now a household world, but the real champion of Wimbledon will continue to be the Black in "Who's Cara Black?"
