AFP, London
India's Mahesh Bhupathi and France's Mary Pierce won the Wimbledon mixed doubles title on Sunday with a 6-4, 6-2 win against Paul Hanley of Australia and Tatiana Perebiynis of the Ukraine. The 55-minute win on Centre Court brought the curtain down on the 2005 Championships. The unseeded Bhupathi and Pierce had knocked out third seeds Jonas Bjorkman and Lisa Raymond 7-5, 6-1 in the semifinals earlier in the day while Hanley and Perebiynis beat fourth seeds Kevin Ullyett and Liezel Huber -- the latter having earlier won the womens' doubles -- 6-3, 6-4.
