. Fred Couples, captain of the U.S. side, put it all into perspective. "We know
whos in charge," he said. LONDON -- Serena Williams, who kept coming close
without quite getting there,?insisted she was not focused on No. 22.Now she
finally has it. And so she can flaunt it.Williams lifted both arms overhead and
raised two fingers on each hand right there on Centre Court to show off the
magic number after winning her record-tying 22nd Grand Slam singles title by
beating Angelique Kerber 7-5, 6-3 in the Wimbledon final Saturday.Yeah, its been
incredibly difficult not to think about it. I had a couple of tries this year,
Williams said during the trophy ceremony. But it makes the victory even sweeter
to know how hard I worked for it.I have, yeah, definitely had some sleepless
nights, if Im just honest, with a lot of stuff. Coming so close. Feeling it, not
quite able to get there.She pulled even with Steffi Graf for the most major
championships in the Open era, which began in 1968. Now Williams stands behind
only Margaret Courts all-time mark of 24.This was Williams seventh singles
trophy at the All England Club -- only Martina Navratilova, with nine, has more
-- and her second in a row. Her victory at Wimbledon a year ago raised her Grand
Slam count to 21, but while she almost had added to that total since, she was
not able to.There was a stunning loss to Roberta Vinci in the US Open semifinals
in September, ending Williams bid for a calendar-year Grand Slam. Then came
losses in finals to Kerber at the Australian Open in January and to Garbine
Muguruza at the French Open last month.If Im totally honest, Im not relieved to
have the 22nd, Im relieved to have Serena back, said Williams coach, Patrick
Mouratoglou. Everything depends on that. I dont look at the reward, I look at
how to achieve it. And there was something missing for a few months, and the
thing that was missing was just Serena. The tennis player was there, but Serena
as a person wasnt really herself so she was much more beatable.She got that back
over time. I think we didnt realize how much time she need to recover from the
loss at the US Open. Maybe Im being wrong, but thats how I feel.And if having
the singles title wasnt enough, she later teamed up with sister Venus Williams
on Centre Court to capture the womens doubles championship -- their sixth at
Wimbledon -- with a 6-3, 6-4 victory against Timea Babos and Yaroslava
Shvedova.In the rematch against the fourth-seeded Kerber on Saturday -- the
first time in a decade two women met to decide multiple major titles in a single
season -- the No. 1-ranked Williams came through. This goes alongside her six
championships at the US Open, six at the Australian Open and three at the French
Open.The 34-year-old American did it, as she often does, with nearly impeccable
serving. She slammed 13 aces, including at least one in each of her first eight
service games. She won 38 of 43 points when she put a first serve in.She faced
just one break point -- at 3-all in the second set, it represented Kerbers only
real opening -- and shut the door quickly and emphatically, with a pair of aces
at 117 mph and 124 mph, her fastest of the afternoon.This court, Williams said,
definitelyy feels like home.
Gardner Minshew II Youth Jersey. There was
more that Williams did well, though. So much more. Facing the left-handed
Kerbers reactive, counterpunching style, Williams was by far the more aggressive
player during baseline exchanges, trying to make things happen. And she did,
compiling a big edge in winners, 39-12.Williams returned well, hammering second
serves that floated in at 75 mph and breaking serve once in each set. She
volleyed well, too, winning the point on 16 of 22 trips to the net, including a
tap-in on the last point. Soon enough, she was wrapping Kerber in a warm
embrace, then holding up those fingers to symbolize 22.At the end, I was trying
everything, but she deserved it today. She really played an unbelievable match,
said Kerber, who hadnt appeared in a major final until beating Williams in
Melbourne. I think we both played on a really high level.It was breezy, but that
didnt seem to hamper Williams, whose older sister Venus sat in her guest box, a
couple of seats over from musics power couple of Beyoncé and Jay Z.Kerber, a
German who knows Graf well, defeated Venus in the semifinals and hadnt dropped a
set on her way to the final. But on the grass that suits Williams game so well,
Kerber simply could not quite keep up with the trophy on the line, although it
was a high-quality match that was more competitive than the scoreline might
indicate.I also played a good match, Kerber said. That makes it a little easier
for me.Williams lost only one set this fortnight, the opener of her second-round
match against American?Christina McHale?last week. After dropping that
tiebreaker, Williams sat in her sideline chair and proceeded to smack her racket
repeatedly against the grass, before flinging the equipment so far behind her
that it landed in the lap of a TV cameraman.That earned Williams a $10,000 fine,
but perhaps it pointed her in the right direction. She won all 12 sets she has
played since.Once I started focusing more on the positives, I realized that Im
pretty good, she said. Then I started playing a little better.Said Mouratoglou:
What you saw today, what you saw in the semis and what you saw in the
second-round round [against McHale], that was Serena. When she was in trouble --
boom, boom, she did it. When she needed to close -- boom, she did it. That is
Serena. I didnt see that for months.There had been some thought that Williams
was really stung by her loss to Vinci in New York, that it was too big a
disappointment to push aside and lingered, somehow, when she followed with the
setbacks against Kerber and Muguruza.If anything, I was able to show resilience
that, no, thats not going to shake me, youre not going to break me, Williams
said, its going to make me stronger.So, Williams was asked Saturday, is she
already thinking about No. 25, to surpass Court?Oh, God, no, Williams said. One
thing I learned about last year is to enjoy the moment. Im definitely going to
enjoy this.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
