Venus Williams became a 5 time Wimbledon Ladies Champion when she successfully beat her sister in straight sets 7-5 6-4 today.  Serena came into the match as slight favourite and showed that when she broke her older sister in the opening game.  Venus didn't break back until the 8th game to make it 4-4.  Venus went on to take a 6-5 lead and head towards a tie break.  Serena Williams netted the final point of the 1st set when at 30-40 to gift her sister the opening set.

Serena looked frustrated at herself towards the end of the opening set and that continued throughout the match.  There was a strong wind throughout the contest that often delayed serves and affected shots.

A frustrated Serena Williams returned Venus' first serve up the baseline for a superb winner.  Serena went up to 0-30 in the opening game but Venus fought back to take the opening game of the 2nd set with a ladies Wimbledon record serve of 129mph.  Serena held on to her own serve before breaking Venus in the 3rd set for a 2-1 lead.  But Venus broke straight back.  Each sister held onto their own serve after that up to the 10th and final game where Venus took advantage of her 2nd match point when Serena ends the rally with a shot in the tramline.

Venus Williams celebration was quiet as always when one wins between the two and gave her younger sister a hug at the net.
