The 2009 US Open was a big tennis tournament. It happened in New York City. This article is all about the women's doubles event. In doubles, two players team up against another team of two.

The amazing sisters, Serena Williams and Venus Williams, won the women's doubles title. They played against Cara Black and Liezel Huber in the final match. Cara and Liezel were the champions from the year before. Serena and Venus won the match with a score of 6–2, 6–2. This means they won two sets, and their opponents won zero.

This victory was special for the Williams sisters. It was their second time winning the US Open together. It was also their tenth major title as a team. Major titles are the biggest tournaments in tennis, like the US Open. Winning this helped them achieve something called a "non-calendar-year Grand Slam." This means they won all four major tournaments, but not all in the same calendar year.
