Zheng Jie and Yan Zi of China beat sixth seeds Alona Bondarenko/Kateryna Bondarenko of Ukraine in the women's doubles bronze medal match at the Beijing Olympic Games on Sunday.

Zheng/Yan converted on six of nine break points to take the match 6-2, 6-2 in just 75 minutes.

China won the women's doubles gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the country's only Olympic tennis medal to date, when Li Ting and Sun Tiantian triumphed as dark horse.

"They did their best, I am happy with my players in singles and doubles, but I think they should have done better," said Chinese head coach Jiang Hongwei.

Zheng and Yan won the Australian Open and the Wimbledon Championships in 2006, becoming the first Chinese players to win a Grand Slam title.
