Being able to defeat Serena Williams in a Grand Slam final in her career is the dream of all female tennis players. Now, the Romanian girl Halep has done it. Last night, Beijing time, the third tennis Grand Slam event of the year, the Wimbledon championship, ended the competition for the women's singles final. The No. 7 seed, Halep, swept the 11th seed, the 7th seed, with two 6-2 games. Tournament champion Serena Williams reached the Wimbledon final for the first time in her career and won the championship trophy. This is also her second Grand Slam championship after being crowned French Open in 2018.

55 minutes! The women's singles final of the Wimbledon Championships turned into a "blitzkrieg". The 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams was so vulnerable. People can't help but feel that this is a battle of youth.

Serena Williams was born on September 26, 1981, and Halep was born on September 27, 1991. There is a 10-year age difference between them.

In 1998, 16-year-old Serena Williams made her debut at the All England Club. She has played in Wimbledon 19 times and reached the finals 10 times. She has achieved 7 wins and 3 losses. At this Wimbledon, Serena Williams, who is about to turn 38, still maintains her strong strength and successfully advanced to the finals, eventually joining Halep.

Halep faced off against Zhang Shuai in the quarter-finals. She was once behind 1-4 in the first set, but then the Romanian girl suddenly regained her composure and gained momentum, charging all the way to the final.

Time is a "butcher's knife". Youth is no longer Serena's biggest disadvantage, but it is somewhat surprising to encounter the strongest Halep.

Serena Williams suffered three consecutive losses in the postpartum Grand Slam finals. Unfortunately, she missed the 8th Wimbledon crown and the 24th Grand Slam crown. She also missed a good opportunity to tie Margaret Court's Grand Slam record. Halep became the first Romanian to win the singles title in Wimbledon history.

This women's singles championship battle naturally attracted many stars and celebrities, including members of the British royal family. Among them, Princess Kate and Princess Meghan appeared together to watch the game. Prince William will appear at the All England Club on the men's singles final day to witness the peak showdown between Federer and Djokovic.
