The Big winners at the 2015 edition of the Wimbledon championships were two people very familiar with winning, Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic.
The Serena Slam as she has won all four tennis majors in a row. Williams’ championship at this year’s Wimbledon was inevitable. That’s really the only way to explain it. Though Garbine Muguruza put Williams in an early hole in the opening set, Williams steadily took control of the match en route to the championship. And now, she’s only a U.S. Open title away from completing the Calendar Slam, which hasn’t been done since 1988.
Against Muguruza, Williams wasn’t at her best. She was, at times, uncharacteristically sloppy. But perhaps the fact that she was still able to win in straight sets despite not being at her best signals just how dominant Williams has become.
The defending Wimbledon Djokovic 28, won beat Roger Federer 7-6 (7-1) 6-7 (10-12) 6-4 6-3 to overtake the likes of Jimmy Connors, Andre Agassi and Ivan Lendl in the all-time list of major winners.
Federer, 33, had hoped to become the first man to win Wimbledon eight times.
The Swiss won a thrilling second set tie-break but Djokovic came through to win in two hours and 56 minutes.He adds a third victory at the All England Club to one US Open and five Australian Open titles, and the Serb has now won 48 matches and lost just three in 2015.
The world number one’s most recent defeat came against Stan Wawrinka in last month’s French Open final, but five weeks later he has gone some way to making up for missing out on the one major title to still elude him.
