Defeating Polish player Agnieszka Radwanska 6-1 5-7 6-2, Serena Williams solidified her 5th Wimbledon singles title and 14th grand slam crown, says CNN.Â
Serena, the first 30+ year-old to take the title in over two decades, was cheered on by her elder sister–and sometimes rival–Venus.Â
According to the website of the San Francisco Chronicle, retired tennis champion John McEnroe remarked, “The grace and support Venus has given Serena is unbelievable. And so genuine. Just think what these two had to go through when they played each other. How in the world do you do that?”
After both sisters have battled serious physical issues in recent years, the win was an emotional one.
