Serena Williams Wins Wimbledon

Serena Williams won her sixth Wimbledon crown by defeating Margine Guburuza (6-4) (6-4) in the women’s final yesterday.

Ms. Williams has won 4 straight tennis grand slam events. With a victory in the upcoming U.S. Open she would achieve the “calendar grand slam”–she already has won the Australian and French opens in addition to winning the Wimbledon title yesterday.

Williams has won 21 Grand Slam Tournaments, only Margaret Court (24) and Steffi Graf (22) have more.

Only the legendary Maureen “Little Mo” Connolly in 1953, Ms. Court in 1970 and Graf in 1988 have achieved the “calendar grand slam” among women tennis players.
