Serena WiIlliams - 2009 Ladies Wimbledon Champion
Not their greatest match. In the end Venus sort of broke down but the display of power on Center Court today from the Williams Sisters was unreal. Serena took down her big sister, 7-6(3) 6-3.
Serena now owns 3 Wimbledon singles titles and brought her Grand Slam total to 11 - which also includes 4 Australian, 1 French & 3 U.S. titles. She is also the current holder of 3 of the last 4 and come Monday morning she will remain at #2 behind Slam-less Dinara Safina.
Of this situation she half joked in her press conference, "I think if you hold three Grand Slam titles maybe you should be No. 1, but not on the WTA Tour obviously. My motivation is maybe just to win another Grand Slam and stay No. 2, I guess. I'd rather definitely be No. 2 and hold three Grand Slams in the past year than be No. 1 and not have any."
Venus got some consolation as she came back to Center Court later in the day with Serena to take the Ladies Doubles Title. They downed the Aussie duo of Samantha Stosur and Rennae Stubbs, 7-6(4) 6-4.
Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic spoiled the American 4th of July party by beating American's Bob and Mike Bryan in a highly entertaining match, 7-6(7) 6-7(3) 7-6(3) 6-3.
