Serena Williams beat Germany’s Angelique Kerber 7-5 6-3 to claim a seventh Wimbledon singles title and equal Steffi Graf’s professional era record of 22 grand slam singles crowns on Saturday.
The 34-year-old American edged a high-quality final on a blustery Centre Court as she avenged a surprise loss to Kerber in Australia.
Fourth seed Kerber stuck to her guns in a fiercely-fought first set but wavered at 5-6 when a couple of unforced errors gave a fired-up Williams the chance to grab the opener, which she did on her second set point.
Williams faced a moment of danger when Kerber earned a first break point at 3-3 in the second set but she responded strongly.
