Serena Williams defeated big sister Venus Williams in the Women’s Wimbledon Finals at the All England Club on Saturday July 4th.  It was a fairly easy win for Serena who won the 1st set tie-breaker 7-3, and then cruised to the match win with a 6-2 second set drubbing.  The numbers said it all: 12 aces, 25 winners and 12 unforced errors for Serena as opposed to 2 aces, 14 winners and 18 unforced errors for Venus.  It was Serena’s 3rd Wimbledon Title and 11th Grand Slam title overall.  Serena had beaten Venus in the 2002 and 2003 Wimbledon Finals, while Venus had beaten Serena in last year’s Wimbledon Finals.  Serena’s win prevented Venus from becoming the 1st women to win 3 straight Wimbledon titles since Steffi Gras did so from 1991-1993.

What a great day for American tennis in England on July 4th!
