For Serena Williams it his her 14th Grand Slam title and the first since she took a year off for injuries and health issues.

“I can’t even describe it. I almost didn’t make it a few years ago,” Williams said. “I was in hospital but now I’m here again and it was so worth it. I’m so happy.

“Aggie played so well and that’s why she’s had such a great career and she’s so young.”

“Williams broke to love in the third game with a walloped return winner, but her nerves tightened and Radwanska raised her game just in time to avert a seemingly inevitable straight-sets win.
Radwanska forced break point for the first time in the match to level at 4-4 and the crowd threw their support behind her renaissance.” BBC

Williams’ “victory is the first time the title has been won by a woman over 30 since Martina Navratilova’s triumph in 1990.
