Serena Williams become Wimbledon 2009 Ladies Single Champion

At Fourth of July, America’s Independence Day, Venus Williams was far from the best. Her progress in wimbledon 2009 Women Final match against her sister Serena Williams had been more impressive, contained fewer games and less stress, but there was not enough in the tank today once the match hit its stride.

At London Club in an 87 minutes match Serena removed the ladies’ singles championship crown from the custody of her older sister Venus. In straight sets of 7-6 (7-3) and 6-2 in. This was Serena’s third Wimbledon title and 11th Grand Slam and was ample amends for her loss to her big sister 12 months ago. It was well deserved as Venus admitted, saying: “Serena had the answer for everything and played the best tennis today, so congratulations.”

Serena had been saying from the start of tornament that it is her turn to win Wimbledon. And since the Williamses have turned this event into a private affair, the only one she really needed to defeat was Venus.

The job was accomplished in typical powerful style, with Venus so worn down that her own game collapsed spectacularly from 2-2 in the second set.

Serena expressed disbelief that she was finally holding once more the Wimbledon trophy, the Venus Rosewater Dish, which might have been named for her sister, who has won it five times, and paid full tribute: “Venus is the greatest on this surface.” At which they both went off for a rest before playing the doubles final.
