World number one Serena Williams powered past Russian 21st seed Vera Zvonareva in 66 minutes to win a fourth Wimbledon and 13th Grand Slam title. The American came into the final having not dropped a set and with 80 aces, and she stormed to a 6-3 6-2 victory. Zvonareva, playing in her first Grand Slam final, was outplayed and could not force a single break point. The victory takes Williams past Billie Jean King to sixth in the all-time list of female Grand Slam singles champions. Looking towards her illustrious compatriot in the royal box afterwards, Williams said: "Hey Billie, I got you, it's number 13 for me." And she added: "It's amazing to be among such great people. Vera has been through so much and everyone should give her a big cheer - she really defines what a champion and never giving up means." Williams, 28, retains the crown she won in 2002, 2003 and 2009, and ensures that between her and sister Venus, the title has stayed within the family for nine of the last 11 years. With just one win in six matches against the world number one, and that victory four years ago, it was imperative that Zvonareva stayed in touch in the early stages. An ace and a backhand winner down the line in the opening game served notice that Williams was not suffering any pressure as the overwhelming favourite, but Zvonareva did well to see off the first break point of the match on her way to levelling at 3-3. Williams was furious with herself for missing a second break point in game eight when she hammered a backhand return into the net off a Zvonareva second serve, but a brilliant lob and a running forehand pass ensured the chance was not wasted. Fifteen winners could not mask the fact that it was not yet vintage Williams but she was serving well enough to stay ahead and wrap up the first set in 36 minutes.
