A big congrats to Serena Williams who defended her Wimbledon title today defeating Vera Zvonareva 6-3, 6-2 in a 1 hour and 7 min rout. She never faced a break point in the entire match and didn't drop a single set the entire tourney. Oh yeah, she also threw down a record 89 aces this fortnight. Incredible.
It's her fourth Wimby title, one behind sister Venus, and 13th major championship surpassing Billie Jean King and moving her to sixth on the all-time list behind Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert (tied with 18), Helen Wills Moody (19), Steffi Graf (22) and Margaret Smith Court (24).
More coverage to come!

That shot is the shot of the day. The way she was able to move on the court to get to that really great volley by Vera and then go up the line for the winner was just breathtaking. Serena in all her glory right there.
