No one could ever accuse Serena of suddenly coming over all coy. And, yes, everyone at Wimbledon on Saturday couldn’t help but obsess over Serena’s 'titles’. If you’ve got it, flaunt it.
By beating her older sister Venus in an all-American, all-Williams final that was played on the Fourth of July, Serena won her third Venus Rosewater Dish and the 11th grand slam title of her career. So Serena now has three of the four grand slam titles in her possession, since she was also the champion at last season’s US Open and at this year’s Australian Open. But, as Serena doesn’t also hold the French Open trophy, you could say that the Californian doesn’t quite have a perfect set of 'titles’. Serena is the world No 2. Dinara Safina, a Russian, has never won a slam, and she’s the world No 1. Work that one out. Venus had been hoping to win Wimbledon for the third summer in succession, and for the sixth time in her career, and she is regarded as one of the all-time grass-court greats. But this time on Centre Court she wasn’t even the best grass-court player in her own family.
