After spending 2011 not playing tennis due to surgeries and a blood clot in her lung that could have cost her life, not to mention her career, Serena Williams is once again the Wimbledon queen. Winning her 5th title was obviously a great joy, but winning it after what she had gone through made it that much sweeter.
Williams serve was huge with 17 aces and she compiled a lopsided 58-13 in winners against her competition Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland. She dominated the first set 6-1, but Radwanska picked up momentum after a rain delay and won the second set 5-7. Williams regained her composure finishing the third set strongly 6-2 giving her the 5th Wimbledon win of her career.
Radwanska played a pretty good game, but at times seemed overpowered by Williams. Combined with a some errors and there you have it. Radwanska will be ranked #2 in the world and I'm sure we'll be seeing her again in that arena.
Congrats to Serena not only for her Wimbledon win, but for fighting through her own personal tragedies and disappointments to get back to being one of the best there is in the game.
