Williams entered Wimbledon as the tournament favorite, and left as a champion once again, as no one could match her blend of power tennis, and tactical experience. The title is #7 at Wimbledon in women’s singles for Williams and moves Serena even higher on the mountain of women’s tennis legends. In the final singles match, Williams dominated on her serve, facing no break points in the first set, and just one in the second set. She hammered 13 aces, while Kerber had none, and Kerber was broken twice in the match when it counted.
