For the eighth time in 10 years, one of the Williams sisters has been named the women’s Wimbledon champion. At the All England Club today, Serena Williams beat Venus Williams 7-6 (3), 6-2 and won her third Wimbledon title and 11th Grand Slam championship.

I’m sure it’s strange to play against each other (and even difficult since they are both so skilled and competitive) but I’m also sure that it felt great for Serena to beat her big sister in the fourth all-Williams final.
Venus could have become the first woman to win the tournament for three years in a row since the 1991-1993 winning streak of Steffi Graf. This is Serena’s third win in London and her first in six years. After falling to her knees in celebration, Serena hugged her sister at the net.

“It feels so amazing,” she said. “I feel so blessed. I feel like I shouldn’t be holding the trophy. It’s named for Venus and she always wins.”
Congratulations, Serena!
