Looking spectacular in her high-collar Nike dress, Serena Williams beat Angelique Kerber in the final of Wimbledon 2016, in two sets, but two difficult ones, and added yet another historic stat in her career, equaling Steffi Graf's record of 22 Grand Slam titles.
The world No.3 Kerber, who will climb to No.2 on Monday, opened the championship match by winning a nice, competitive point on Williams' serve, but the defending champion answered by winning four straight points. What followed was Kerber's long fight to hold her first service game, which included three break points, but the German didn't allow a break and what proceeded were strong holds of serve by both players all the way to 6-5 for Williams.
