Serena wins the Wimbledon title

The 27-year-old won 7-6 (7-3) 6-2 to regain the title she won in 2002 and 2003, and end five-time champion Venus’s hopes of a third straight win.

It was the fourth time the sisters had met in a Wimbledon final.

Serena has now won 11 Grand Slam titles and holds the Wimbledon, Australian and US Open crowns.

After a brief rain shower, Saturday’s final began on time and in bright sunshine on Centre Court, ruling out any need for the retractable roof to be used.

The sisters went into the match with a 10-10 record, but with five titles to Serena’s two and having powered through the draw without dropping a set, Venus began as a marginal favourite.

However, the defending champion was still wearing the heavy strapping on her left leg that she had repeatedly insisted was not an issue throughout the fortnight.
