Croatian top seeds Nikola Mektic and Mate Pavic spoke to the media after winning the Wimbledon men's doubles final late on Saturday.

Mektic and Pavic defeated Spain's Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos of Argentina 6-4 7-6 (5) 2-6 7-5 to win their eighth title of a remarkably dominant season.

This is a first slam title together and a first overall for Mektic, while Pavic now only needs the French Open to complete his set.

They are also the first Croatian doubles pair to win a Grand Slam - a special moment 20 years after fellow countryman Goran Ivanisevic won Wimbledon.

The pair were ruled out of the French Open on the eve of the tournament after both tested positive for coronavirus.
