Venus Williams wins her fifth Wimbledon title

Venus Williams won another title- match battle with her sister, Serena, downing her younger sibling in straight sets on Saturday for her fifth Wimbledon championship.
The seventh-seeded Venus defeated Serena 7-5, 6-4, in the third all-Williams final at Wimbledon in seven years. Serena had won both prior matchups in Wimbledon finals, and had taken five of six Grand Slam final matchups with her older sister, but Saturday was Venus' day. The 28-year-old won her second consecutive Wimbledon title, and her third in four years.
Venus also won consecutive Wimbledon finals in 2000 and 2001, before her 26- year-old sister took the titles in 2002 and 2003. The win was the seventh Grand Slam title for Venus, who is now one shy of her younger sister, as Serena failed to pick up her ninth. The Williams sisters have combined to win seven of the last nine Wimbledon titles and at least one of them has appeared in eight of the last nine finals at the All England Club.

Congratulations again Venus!
