Serena Williams completed the “Serena Slam” by beating Garbine Muguruza in straight sets to win the Wimbledon title.
Williams won 6-4, 6-4 on Centre Court and now holds all four major titles at the same time.
Her sixth Wimbledon crown takes her another step towards her first calendar Grand Slam and, at 33, makes her the oldest female winner of a major in the Open Era.
Williams’ 21st Grand Slam win moves her closer to Steffi Graf's record of 22 Grand Slam titles in the Open Era, and Margaret Court's all-time record of 24.
"I can't believe I am standing here with another Serena Slam," said Williams. "It is so cool. It feels so good."
Williams did not start well against Muguruza, the 21-year-old 20th seed playing in her first Grand Slam final, and was broken in the opening game.
