Czech pair Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova have defended their Australian Open title, continuing their dominance of the women's doubles circuit.
The top seeds accounted for Japanese first-time finalists Shuko Aoyama and Ena Shibahara 6-4 6-3 in Sunday's championship decider at Rod Laver Arena.
The result extended the Czechs' remarkable grand slam winning streak to 24 matches.
Krejcikova and Siniakova have not lost a match at a grand slam since the 2021 US Open, having won last year's Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open.
Sunday's final marked their second Australian Open championship and seventh major title overall.
They also claimed gold at the Tokyo Olympics.
Krejcikova and Siniakova dropped just one set at Melbourne Park - the second set in their first-round match - and won 11 consecutive sets on their path to the title.
