Serena Williams won a sixth Wimbledon title, fourth Grand Slam championship in a row and 21st major overall after she defeated Garbine Muguruza 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday.
The 33-year-old American withstood a late fightback from 20th seed Muguruza, 21, to come through in one hour and 23 minutes.
Muguruza was playing in her first Grand Slam final and took a 4-2 lead, before giving the top seed a mighty scare by battling back from a set and 5-1 down with two breaks of serve.
She could not quite complete the comeback, however, with an error-strewn service game setting up Williams to clinch a landmark win when the Spaniard found the tramlines.
