Venus Williams claims first US Open doubles win since 2014 with Leylah Fernandez

• Williams wins first women's doubles in decade

• Partners with Fernandez to stun No 6 seeds

• Raucous crowd backs 45-year-old on Armstrong

Venus Williams insists she is not a good doubles player. The 14 major championships she and Serena won together tell a different story.

Without her younger sister by her side, Williams showed Thursday she's still got it. Williams won a women's doubles match at the US Open for the first time in more than a decade, teaming with Leylah Fernandez to defeat the sixth-seeded pair of Lyudmyla Kichenok and Ellen Perez 7-6 (4), 6-3.
