Defending champion Serena Williams won her fourth women's singles title at Wimbledon on Saturday with a crushing 6-3, 6-2 victory over Russian 21st seed Vera Zvonareva in a lopsided final.
Williams displayed all her trademark power and poise to overwhelm Zvonareva on Centre Court and clinch the 13th Grand Slam crown of her career.
The 28-year-old's triumph means the Venus Rosewater Dish awarded to the women's champion was held aloft by a Williams for the ninth time in 11 years, sister Venus accounting for the others.

Serena, who pocketed one million pounds (1.5 million dollars) in prize money, has been by far the most impressive performer in the women's event this year and moves up to sixth on the list of all-time Grand Slam winners, ahead of American compatriot Billie Jean King.
Not one of Serena's seven opponents here ever seriously threatened to upset her and it would be no surprise if the world number one was back to collect another title in 12 months time.
Although Zvonareva was unable to make any impact in her first Grand Slam final, the Russian can at least take consolation from seeing her ranking rise into the top 10 in the world. RIGHT: Serena Williams exults at Wimbledon on Saturday.
