Wimbledon 2016: Serena Williams Clinches 7th Wimbledon Crown | NWI

United States tennis icon Serena Williams thrashed German fourth seeded Angelique Kerber 7-5,6-3 to win her seventh Wimbledon title in London on Saturday.

Serena Williams powered to her seventh Wimbledon crown as the world number one finally claimed a record-equalling 22nd major title with a 7-5, 6-3 victory over Angelique Kerber in Saturday’s final.

Williams had been stuck on 21 Grand Slams since winning last year’s Wimbledon, but the American star ended that frustrating barren spell to retain the title and draw level with Steffi Graf’s Open era record.

Serena was pushed hard by Kerber in a high-quality clash lasting 81 minutes on Centre Court, but the German fourth seed eventually crumbled under a barrage of 39 winners and 13 aces from the defending champion.

Champion. Again.
