Simona Halep poses with the trophy as she celebrates after winning the final against Serena Williams at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, July 13, 2019. — Reuters pic LONDON, July 13 — Simona Halep said she had “never played better” after shattering Serena Williams’s latest bid to capture a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam today as she stormed to a sensational victory in a 56-minute Wimbledon final.
The 27-year-old Romanian captured her second career major with a 6-2, 6-2 victory, adding a maiden Wimbledon to her 2018 Roland Garros triumph.“My mom said when I was 10 that if I want to do something in tennis I have to play in the final at Wimbledon“I said at the start of the tournament that one of my motivations was to win and become a lifetime member of the club.”
Defeat for 37-year-old Williams, a seven-time Wimbledon champion who won the last of her 23 Slam titles at the 2017 Australian Open, meant her attempt to equal Margaret Court’s all-time record for major wins was put back on ice until at least the US Open.“She played out of her mind,” said Williams. “I was like a deer in headlights.” — AFP
