WIMBLEDON, England -- Don Johnson and Jared Palmer won the Wimbledon doubles title Sunday, defeating the Czech pair of Jiri Novak and David Rikl 6-4, 4-6, 6-3, 7-6 (6).

Johnson and Palmer are the first all-American team to win Wimbledon since Rick Leach and Jim Pugh in 1990.

The victory came after they saved four match points on Palmer's serve in the quarterfinals. That came in the fourth set when they beat Juan Balcells of Spain and Sjeng Schalken of the Netherlands in five sets.

Teaming for the first time in early March, the two have won five titles in the eight tournaments they have played. They won on their debut in Scottsdale, Ariz., on hard courts, and followed with back-to-back clay-court victories in Barcelona and Mallorca. They also won Nottingham on grass immediately before Wimbledon.

They are undefeated in the finals they have contested.

Palmer already has won a Grand Slam men's doubles title, having taken the 1995 Australian Open with American partner Richey Reneberg.

Palmer also reached the Wimbledon final two years ago with Paul Haarhuis of the Netherlands, losing that time to the Indian pair of Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes.

Novak and Rikl were only the fourth all-Czech pair to contest a Grand Slam final in the Open era, and the first at Wimbledon.

On the women's side, top-seeded Lisa Raymond and Rennae Stubbs won the doubles title, defeating Kim Clijsters of Belgium and Ai Sugiyama of Japan 6-4, 6-3.

Raymond, of the United States, and Stubbs, of Australia, won each of their six matches in straight sets.

It was the second Grand Slam title for them after their victory in the 2000 Australian Open. It was the fifth time they teamed at Wimbledon. Their previous best showings at the All England Club were semifinal finishes in 1998 and 2000.

Wimbledon was also the fifth title of the year for Raymond and Stubbs. They were runners-up three times.

Clijsters and Sugiyama were a far less experienced pair. Clijsters teamed with Sugiyama, the world's top-ranked doubles player, for the first time in San Diego a year ago. They have decided to form a regular partnership.
