Most Olympic tennis doubles titles won

According to Official Guinness Records,

Three players have each won three doubles titles at the Olympic Games. Reginald "Reggie" Doherty (UK, 1872-1910) won gold medals in the men's doubles and mixed doubles (with brother Laurie and Charlotte Cooper, respectively) at Paris 1900 and a third gold in the men's doubles (with George Hillyard) at London 1908. Serena and Venus Williams (both USA) won their third Olympic women's doubles title together when they brushed aside Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka (both Czech Republic) in the final at Wimbledon, London, UK, on 5 August 2012. The sisters had previously won the women's doubles event at Sydney 2000 and Beijing 2008.
