Although women's doubles tennis has a long history—it was initially used at the Olympics in 1920—it didn't acquire official organization until the WTA was established in the 1970s.
Serena and Venus Williams, Pam Shriver, Martina Navratilova, and Martina Hingis are the most successful women's doubles tennis players. The Williams sisters have six Grand Slam doubles championships between them, and Navratilova and Shriver are notable for having won a calendar Grand Slam in 1984.
