Top-seeded Serena Williams overcame a slow start to beat Garbine Muguruza 6-4, 6-4 on Saturday, earning her sixth Wimbledon title and fourth straight Grand Slam title.
Williams, 33, also notched the third win in her quest to hold all four major championship titles in the same calendar year, a feat no one has managed since Steffi Graf in 1988. Her chance will come at the end of August, when the U.S. Open kicks off.
"I'm having so much fun out here," she said after the win. "I've never dreamt that I would still be out here playing and winning Wimbledon."
