The younger sister of the Williams family was crowned 7 times and is considered a living monument in Wimbledon. Meanwhile, Halep has entered the Grand Slam final on the field for the first time.
In the previous 10 meetings, Serena won 9 and lost only 1. With such a correlation before the match, the developments at the All-England Club inevitably surprised viewers.
The two players entered the match with completely opposite form. Serena lost herself by making mistakes. On the opposite side, Halep played extremely well with stable shots. The rum itself won a penalty in the first four games before ending the first set with a score of 6-2.
Entering set 2, Serena played better and established a tense situation in the first games. However, on a day of Halep's control, the ability to cover, defend and return the ball well from the No. 7 seed made Serena discouraged.
Coming to the turning point in game 5, Halep was the one who took the lead when he won the break. In the context of Serena's physical and mental strength almost hitting rock bottom, Halep did not have much difficulty winning the final set 6-2. Thereby, she was officially crowned Miss Wimbledon 2019 after only 55 minutes of competition.
With his first win at the All-England Club, Simona Halep has his second Grand Slam title in his career, after winning Roland Garros last year. The Romania international is expected to rise three places to the world fourth rankings after the tournament.
As for Serena Williams, the 37-year-old tennis player continued to miss the record of 24 Grand Slams of the legendary Margaret Court. Serena has lost her last 3 finals, thereby temporarily stagnating at the number 23 Grand Slam.
