Serena Williams overcame a resurgent Agnieszka Radwanska to clinch a hard-fought 6-1 5-7 6-2 victory and earn her fifth Wimbledon singles title.
The American had eased through the opening set before Radwanska regrouped to win a rain-delayed second set.
But Williams broke twice in the decider to kill off Radwanska’s challenge.

Her singles victory is Williams’s 14th Grand Slam title and follows Wimbledon singles victories in 2002, 2003, 2009 and 2010.

“I can’t even describe it. I almost didn’t make it a few years ago,” she said after her win, referring to her health problems.
