Serena and Venus Williams continued their domination of the Australian Open women's doubles tournament on Friday, winning the doubles title for the fourth time.

The Williams sisters required only 2 sets to see off the challenge from Cara Black and Liezel Huber, winning 6-4, 6-3 to defend the title they won in 2009.

"I guess I was really focused and my serve was really working today," Venus told Reuters after the match. "They played really like a team and were really coming into the net and just doing everything right. So Serena and I just had to work together."

The match provided a moment of comedy when Venus Williams failed to realise that the match had been won, and thought that her sister was wildly celebrating having broken their opponents' serve.

"I actually didn't know the score. I thought that it was 5-2. I really don't know how I lost track," she said. "I thought 'Serena's really happy about this break! I thought, 'Wow, I've never seen her this happy. But I'll go with it.'"

Serena Williams appeared to be in top form heading into the 2010 Australian Open women's final despite sporting straps on her legs and wrist.
