Serena Williams completes ‘Serena Slam’ with sixth Wimbledon win

The 34-year-old Swiss player, already a member of the worldwide Tennis Hall of Fame, teamed up with Sania Mirza of India to win the women’s doubles title on Saturday. She has won WTA Tour events large and small. It also gave her a “Serena Slam” for the second time, with Williams holding all four majors at the same time.

And the win will raise Federer’s overall Slam record to 18, well ahead of Sampras and Rafael Nadal’s 14.

2002 US Open: Turning heads with her Catwoman-like outfit, Serena won a third straight Grand Slam title. She has lost just one match in the 2015 season and has said she will definitely play through the Rio Olympics next summer, if not longer.

After all, the then 20-year-old Spaniard handed the now 20-time major champion her most lopsided loss ever at a Grand Slam tournament. Williams is three behind Court, the Australian who won 24 major titles between 1960 and 1973. There was confusion over a possible challenge before the umpire announced her the victor and Williams was able to celebrate yet another Grand Slam win.

2007 Australian Open: Defying her No. 81 ranking, Serena stormed to her eighth Grand Slam singles title. In grand slam finals, they’ve met twice, each have one win.

“Everyday is a pleasure to be playing and winning Wimbledon”. I feel I’ll be OK.

“It’s super exciting”, she told the press after the match. “It becomes repetitive. You have to take the matches one by one”.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion broke Garbine Muguruza to even the score at 4-4 in the first set. She defeated Maria Sharapova in the 2015 Wimbledon semifinals, while Muguruza beat Agnieszka Radwanska.

The American has won the U.S. Open title the past three years at Flushing Meadows.

“I just never dreamt I would be out here still”, Williams said, “let alone winning”.

At 33, Williams is also the oldest woman to win a Grand Slam title in the Open era. “You’re thinking “she’s won this five times this””.

Williams had to dodge a bullet to survive late in the second set in a match where she began with a double-fault and a break of her serve by the inspired challenger.

That was all the more the case when Williams broke again to take a 5-1 lead, but then, with nothing at all to lose, Muguruza played some of her best tennis of the match. Ninth game. Time for Williams to serve for the match, right?

“The crowd was really for her. I had to just figure out what is it that I could do to get her from just playing awesome”. He admires her work ethic, hunger and desire, which is impressive since she is nearing 34 – a very old age in professional tennis.

Muguruza had more than enough power to trade blows from the baseline and she came out on top so often in the early stages that the frustrated American screamed “that’s so bad” after losing another point.
