Serena Williams needed just 67 minutes to defeat Russian Vera Zvonareva and capture her fourth Wimbledon title. It’s also the ninth time in 11 years that a Williams sister has won the tournament, the other being Venus, obviously. With her 6-3, 6-2 victory on Saturday, Serena is now 13-3 in Grand Slam finals.
From FoxSports.com:
“I’m just glad that I was able to win, especially (after) Venus lost,” Serena said. “I really wanted a Williams sister to go ahead and win it. Eleven years consistent is really cool.”
That’s something the sisters won’t be able to ignore back home in Florida.
“Now everywhere we look there’s another Wimbledon trophy,” Williams said. Then she rolled her eyes and adding with a smile, “Not another one of those again.”
While Venus may be on her way to retirement, sister Serena is in full force. I mean, the woman didn’t lose a set the entire tournament.
What’s funny is that with 13 Slams to her name, Serena is still only sixth on the all-time list. That just exemplifies the dominance of the women ahead of her.
Still, though, it’s clear Serena is the premier player in women’s tennis. After making a dent in their comebacks, Kim Clijsters and Justine Henin have lost a bit of their momentum. And what happened to Jelena Jankovic, Maria Sharapova and Ana Ivanovic? Serena just keeps winning.
