Serena Williams took the Wimbledon championship in her stride this afternoon, defeating Garbine Muguruza in straight sets. The 33-year-old, now the oldest ever female champion, put on a jovial display as she made her way back to her locker room, balancing the Championship Plate on her head (left) as she left Centre Court. Her 21-year-old opponent on the other hand wiped tears from her face as she collected her runner up trophy (inset). It was the Spanish underdog’s first Grand Slam final after crashing out of last year’s tournament in the first round. Williams is now one step away from landing a calendar Grand Slam in the US Open later this year, already holding the title for the French and Australian Open.
