Venus Williams: Wimbledon 2007 Champion

Venus Williams is surely the happiest person tonight. She has won the title of Wimbledon 3 times before but none is sweet like winning the title of Wimbledon 2007. In the final, she defeated Marian Bartoli by 6-4, 6-1. Venus was ranked 23^rd in the tournament but she showed that she is one of the best female players to play in Wimbledon’s grass court.

Venus Williams had to work hard in the first set. At one stage, she led 3-0 but then Marian Bartoli fought back hard and leveled 3-3 and then 4-4. The second set was totally an one sided affair. Well, Venus was stronger in two sides: 1. Venus Williams could serve much better than Marian Bartoli and 2. Venus could play cross court shots much better.

After winning the match, Venus thanked her family and she remembered the contribution of Billy Jean King in the development of women’s tennis. She also praised Marian Bartoli.
