Sports Serena Williams wins 6th Wimbledon title
2015.07.11 05:28
 LONDON -- Game. Set. Serena Slam. Serena Williams overcame a slow start, eight double-faults and a nervy finish to beat Garbine Muguruza 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday for her sixth Wimbledon title, fourth Grand Slam championship in a row and 21st major overall.The win means Williams holds all four Grand Slam titles at once -- completing the second "Serena Slam" of her career. What's more, she secured the third leg of a calendar-year Grand Slam and, if she wins the U.S. Open, will become the first player to sweep all four majors in the same season since Steffi Graf in 1988. Williams, winning her 28th straight Grand Slam match, is now just one major title behind Graf on the Open era list and two behind all-time leader Margaret Court Smith.At 33, Williams is also the oldest women to win a Grand Slam title in the Open era. She has now won seven major championships in her 30s.From 4-2 down in the first set, Williams ran off five straight games to take the set and go up 1-0 in the second. She pulled out to a 5-1 lead and twice served for the match but couldn't convert. Williams was broken at love for 5-2, and Muguruza saved a match point and converted on her fifth break point to draw within 5-4. But Williams then broke the 21-year-old Spaniard at love to close out the match, which finished with Muguruza hitting a forehand wide. |

YES, she prevailed and proved she is the real champion.
We want her to keep the stage for a longer time, don’t we?
Thank you for the report, Dr. Hwang! -

Serena is just like old wine.
Once she got older,she began to be more mature and definitely better.
I don't bit surprise to see her achieving calendar year grand slam this year.Thanks for the comment! Mrs. Cho! KJ

OK, so much for the old wine. Let's watch some (fairly) new wines.
At the moment, I am more excited about the following LPGA US Open score.
Five Korean girls in the top 10.Poor Stacey Lewis... Just about everywhere, Korean girls won't let her shine !!
Is Amy Yang tries to break out from her temporary dormant state ??
She won 2 LPGAs and was so close to winning a few times lately.
I wish she does. Let's watch LPGA tomorrow !!There will be also the perennial competition between Stacey Lewis and Inbee Park.
It will be shown at FOX Sport from 2:30 - 6:30 PM (I guess it's Eastern Standard Time)
It was sluggish start and somewhat unSerena type of final in Wimbledon,
but after all Serena Williams prevailed. It was her 6th Wimbledon title and
21st Major title,one short of legendary S.Graf.
She owned all 4 major trophies at this time(2nd Serena Slam) and winning
next major,US Open to fulfill grand slam in 2015(S.Graf in 1988).
She is such a dominant tennis player and her maturity at the age of 34
would pass Steffi Graf's record in very near future,I believe.
Serena! We all love you! KJ
