Serena Williams Claims 7th Wimbledon Win In Victory Over Kerber

LONDON (AP) -- Serena Williams won her seventh Wimbledon title and 22nd major overall by beating Angelique Kerber 7-5, 6-3 on Centre Court.

The top-seeded Williams won her first Grand Slam title since Wimbledon last year. Since then, she lost in the U.S. Open semifinals and in the final of the Australian and French Opens.

Kerber, who beat Williams in the Australian Open final, was playing for her second major title.

Anastasia Potapova, of Russia, won the girls singles title at Wimbledon by beating Dayana Yastremska of Ukraine 6-4, 6-3 on No. 1 Court.

Potapova had only four winners in the match, compared to her opponent's 21. But Yastremska finished the match with 42 unforced errors, 11 more than Potapova.
