Share

Serena Williams again showed the gaping chasm between her and the rest of the field when she retained her Wimbledon singles crown with a crushing 6-3 6-2 win over Russia's Vera Zvonareva on Saturday.

The victory, her fourth at the All England Club which took just 67 minutes, meant Williams overtook Billie Jean King with 13 grand slam singles titles to go sixth in the all-time list.

The 28-year-old celebrated the winning smash by flinging her racket into the air and gesturing to her elated entourage. Zvonareva, who was appearing in a grand slam final for the first time, was blinking back the tears by her chair after the defeat.
