WIMBLEDON, England — Three years had passed since the Wimbledon champion’s trophy was last in her possession, so Serena Williams had some fun with it.
She
held it high on Centre Court with both arms . She
balanced it on her head like a book in a 1950s charm school and walked
with it . At one stage, she even playfully declined to
hand it back to a Wimbledon official (understandable).
“At
the beginning of the year, this is the one I really wanted to win,”
Williams said. “So that was the first thing and the main thing on my
mind.”
Winning
Wimbledon — which Williams has now done six times — is normally a
sufficient thrill on its own. And Saturday’s 6-4, 6-4 victory over
Garbiñe Muguruza of Spain, which made the 33-year-old Williams the
oldest Wimbledon singles champion of the Open era, was a remarkably
pleasant contrast to her dark and disorienting experience at the All
England Club a year ago.
Congrates Miss Williams !!
