Peers and Venus boast an unbeaten finals record together since teaming up in 2020, never losing a set in the four championship matches they have played.
“I didn’t know we had a 4-0 record in finals. It shows that when we’re confident and playing well good things happen,” Venus said. “Hopefully we can use this confidence going forwards.”
