Australia's Stephen Huss and Wesley Moodie of South Africa made history on Saturday when they became the first qualifiers to win the men's doubles title at Wimbledon.

In the final, they beat second seeds Bob and Mike Bryan of the United States 7-6(4), 6-3, 6-7(2), 6-3.

The pair had never stepped on court together in a tour level event until they lined-up for the first round of the qualifying competition.

In Friday's semi-finals they got the better of last year's champions, Sweden's Jonas Bjorkman and giant Belarussian Max Mirnyi, 2-6, 6-2, 6-4, 7-6.
