TENNIS// The biggest moment of Serena Willliams’ career came last month as she lifted the Wimbledon trophy for the seventh time. It was also her 22nd Grand Slam win and with this, she has equaled Steffi Graf’s all-time record of 22 Grand Slams in the open era. This makes the 34-year old American one of the very greatest tennis players of all time. Williams defeated German Angelique Kerber in straight sets. It was sweet revenge as Kerber had bested her in the Australian Open final in January this year. As Kerber said after the match, “At the end, I was trying everything, but she deserved it today.” Steffi Graf won her 22nd title 16 years ago in 1999. Williams reached trophy number 21 in Wimbledon last year but failed to win any Grand Slams for a full year after. She reached the finals of the Australian Open and French Open this year but lost both. With the 22 Slam record in her pocket, Serena Williams is now eying the 24 overall Grand Slam titles record held by Margaret Court.
